What else can I help you with?
Why is the body of a rocket need to be long?
The body of a rocket needs to be long because it helps with the propulsion of the object. It is strictly to help with aerodynamics.
What is the difference between model rockets and real rockets?
In a real rocket, there is short a time in atmosphere and the aerodynamics are less important. In a model rocket, all flight in the atmosphere and the aerodynamics are very important. In a real rocket, it has a liquid or solid rocket engine and a large propellant mass fraction. In a model rocket, it has a solid rocket engine and a small propellant mass fraction . In a real rocket, there are four forces during atmospheric flight. In a model rocket, there are four forces throughout flight. In a real rocket, there is a long powered flight . In a model rocket, it has a very short powered flight . In a real rocket, it has passive stability and active control . In a model rocket, it has passive stability and no control. In a real rocket, it has expensive materials such as aluminum, titanium, and nickel alloy. In a model rocket, it has inexpensive materials such as balsa, cardboard, and plastic. In a real model, there is a high speed and the heating is very important. In a model rocket there is low speed and the heating is not important.
What are some good model rocket suplies?
To build a model rocket you will need a chemical rocket engine, some cardboard tubes, glue, a long rubberband, a garbage bag and a lot more. You can find a complete list of supplies here: http://www.ehow.com/how_2308899_build-model-rocket.html
What does rocket fuel do to your body?
Rocket fuel is highly toxic to the human body, causing a range of health issues when ingested or absorbed. It can damage internal organs, disrupt the central nervous system, and lead to long-term health problems. Exposure to rocket fuel should be avoided as much as possible to prevent serious harm.
How long should you shake a bottle rocket?
about ten times
How long does a model rocket motor last?
Provided they are kept in a dry, cool, and stable environment, they should last indefinitely. The ingredients are non-volatile, so they do not really degrade over time. If you want to know how long they burn for, you need to look at the rating on the side of the rocket. A higher thrust number means that it will burn for a shorter amount of time. Most small model rocket engines burn for 3 to 5 seconds.
How can you tell if the forces are balanced once the rocket is in flight?
You should test your rocket's stability BEFORE you launch! Locate the center of gravity (CG) on your rocket and tie a long string (about 6 feet long) around the body of your rocket at the CG point. Take the other end of the string and swing it over your head around your body. If it flies straight, you're good. If it wobbles or tumbles, then you need to shift the CG more forward of the center point. If you don't know the relationship of "center of gravity" and "center point", you should read up first before you consider launching a rocket. Apogee.com is a great site to learn from. Good luck!
What is the strongest model rocket engines?
G80-10T; no clue what the T means, the 80 means how long it burns(sec), the 10 means how long the delay is between the end of the thrust and activation of the ejection charge(sec), used for coasting to max altitude, G means engine type, classified by the total impulse (or power) produced by rocket. This is an Estes engine that is $56.99 -Rocket Man
How do you make a rocket model?
Normally model rockets are made from kits you buy at a hobby store. The most famous maker of model rocket kits is a company named Estes. Visit links below. The other option is to build it from scratch. One great way to build from scratch is to purchase the Designer's Special from Estes. It contains an assortment of body tubes, nose cones, and centering rings. Just make sure to use an 18mm. diameter tube for the engine (usually will need to be 2.5in long) and that the Center of Gravity of the Rocket is at least one body diameter ahead of the Center of Pressure and you'll be fine. You can find the Center of Gravity by balancing the rocket with everything in it, and you can find the Center of Pressure of the rocket by balancing a cardboard silhouette of your rocket, or you can find both before you build the rocket by using a simulator like Rocket Modeler II (http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/rocket/rktsim.html) or RockSim (http://www.apogeerockets.com/rocksim.asp).
Are model rocket engines dangerous?
Most sites claim there has not been any problem for 40 years of model rocketing. So the answer would have to be a no. Also i never heard of a model rocket engine injury before neither. I think with anything as long as you arent being stupid you will have less chance of getting hurt.
What was the smallest model rocket ever built?
I have built one 4 inches long, it worked well with a 1/2A motor.
What is a fuselage on a rocket?
The fuselage on a rocket is the main body structure that houses the propulsion system, payload, and other necessary components for its flight. It is typically a long, cylindrical structure that provides stability and support during launch and flight.
