Why do rockets have potential energy?

Rockets have potential energy because they store chemical energy in their fuel, which is converted into kinetic energy as the rocket propels forward. As the fuel is burned and expelled out of the rocket, it pushes against the ground or atmosphere, causing the rocket to move and lift off the ground.


What are solid rockets?

The correct term is "solid propellant rocket". These are rockets that burn fuel that is not a liquid(or they are NOT liquid fuel rockets). These rockets have a fuel that is poured into the rocket case and turns to a solid. Once ignited, there is no stopping the burn or controlling it.A simple example of this is rocket you shoot on the 4th of July. It burns black powder that has been formed into a cardboard case.Whereas, a liquid fuel rocket can be controlled by varying the amount of fuel that is injected into the rocket motor.

The third law, for every action there is an opposite and equal re-action applies because the action is the water coming out the bottom and the re-action is the rocket going up.


Which statements describes a difference between the mechanics of airplane flight and rocket flight?

Difference between rocket and missile?

A missile is anything thrown or projected. A rocket uses rocket propulsion - throwing out hot gasses in order to move in the opposite direction. In practice most rockets can be considered to be missiles and most missiles are rockets. in the military a rocket is unguided en a missile is guided, think about GPS or a wire that is in the back of the missile an attached to the launcher an can steered to the target.

How do rockets move in space?

Rockets move in space by expelling gas at high speeds through their engines. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So when the rocket expels gas in one direction, it propels itself in the opposite direction.
