Does a rocket ship go further when its heavy or light?
This will depend if by bigger you mean having a larger payload, with the same amount of propellant, or it the payload is the same and only the mass of propellant changes. If you have more propellant/rocket fuel then the rocket will have more energy. The equation E=.5mv2 (e=energy, m=mass, and v=velocity) shows that if you have more energy then the velocity will increase. But if there is more mass then the velocity will be less. So the question is tough to answer with no set values as to the mass of the rocket fuel vs the mass of the payload. However if this is about rockets in space, where the net force acting on the rocket during the trip is effectively zero( no friction in space), then both rockets will go equally far, both will go indefinitely, with one just going faster than the other.
How do fins on a straw rocket affect it's flight?
Fins on a rocket affects its flight by the way they are built on the rocket
What is the best fins for the bottle rocket?
the best fins for a bottle rocket is having four fins located at the bottom of your bottle rocket the shape of long triangles ! ! ! :) hope it helps !
What simple machines are in a rocket engine?
A rocket engine is a continuously fed explosion in a chamber with one aperture, which means that the pressure on the walls is unbalanced.
What are the names of the different types of specific rocket parts?
Nothing
Does a smaller water rocket go higher than a bigger one?
yes because a heavy rocket will not go high yes because a heavy rocket will not go high
Why aren't rocket tanks painted?
because it would be to heavy
How tall is the spacex rocket falcon heavy?
SpaceX lists the Falcon Heavy at 69.2m (227ft) long.
Does the material a rocket is made of affect the distance it travels?
Yes. A heavy rocket will not travel as far as a light rocket if both carry the same fuel load.
How heavy is an cooking egg?
weigh it and find out god its not rocket science
What is Falcon Heavy?
It is the world's largest rocket as of 2018, launched successfully by Space-X
A rocket is designed to drop its first stage mid-flight. Due to a malfunction this does not occur. What is a possible result of this malfunction?
The rocket is now too heavy to reach its destination
How heavy is a Rpg?
A typical RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade) is about 7 kg (15 lb)
Which law of motion is used to explain how a rocket takeoff?
The third law applies here. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the rocket fuel is ignited it exerts enormous thrust directed downwards. If the rocket is not constrained to the launching pad (with very very heavy restraints) it sees no other way to nullify the enormous thrust but to set itself in motion. Soon as more fuel burns, the rocket accelerates. As a side, if the rocket was restrained with very heavy agents, these agents (in the form of nuts and bolts or whatever) will have to bear the thrust of the rocket engine.
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.
What weapons did the union use in Antietam?
they consisted that they would use a heavy rieful,machine gun,and rocket launcher
Why was the Saturn V important to all mankind?
It propelled the first people to the Moon. It still holds the record for most powerful rocket ever used, though this will eventually be surpassed by NASA's proposed SLS Heavy Lift rocket.
