What equipment may a rocket carry?

Really anything you want. The only limitation you have is how much weight your rocket can lift. if you exceed that your rocket will, at best, just sit on the launch pad and burn all its fuel off. Remember, every satellite or probe ever put into space was done with really big rockets.


How does the combined gas law explain how a rocket can carry enough H2 and O2?

The combined gas law relates pressure, volume, and temperature of gases, which helps explain how a rocket carries hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) efficiently. As the rocket ascends, the decrease in atmospheric pressure allows for the expansion of gases, enabling the rocket to utilize the stored propellants effectively. Additionally, by compressing H2 and O2 into liquid form, the rocket can carry a larger quantity in a smaller volume, optimizing the fuel needed for propulsion. This interplay of gas laws ensures that enough fuel is available for combustion and thrust during the mission.


Is helium in rocket fuel?

Helium is not typically used as a fuel in rockets. It is most commonly used in rocket propulsion systems as a pressurizing agent in liquid fuel rockets to push the fuel into the combustion chamber for efficient burning.


What is a type of motor that burns fuel without air?

An example of a motor that burns fuel without air is a solid fuel rocket motor. These motors contain both fuel and oxidizer within the fuel itself, allowing combustion to occur without the need for external air.


Which is a liquid fuel used in rocket engines?

AMMONIA

How much fuel will be needed in a rocket?

How much fuel will be needed in a rocket will depend on the size of the rocket and where it is going. A rocket that will be traveling into space burns a lot of fuel and will need enough to keep it in orbit for teh desired time.


Where is the solid fuel rocket on a rocket?

At the very bottom is the nozzle, after that is the fuel. Depending on how big the rocket is and how much fuel it needs determines the size of the chamber


Why don't astronauts soft-land on Earth with retro-rockets?

Rocket fuel is very heavy and it would take more rocket fuel for the launch to carry the weight of the fuel for retro rockets.


How much fuel is needed for a rocket?

Can you use petrol as a fuel in rocket engine?

Rocket fuel contains oxygen, which is not found in space. A rocket in space could theoretically work in space if it were to carry its own oxygen, but other fuels such as hydrogen are more efficient.


How much fuel does a single rocket launch use?

The fuel consumption of a rocket launch can vary, but as a rough estimate, a single rocket launch uses several hundred thousand gallons of fuel.
