What is the difference between rocket and aeroplanes?

The rockets are attached to the space shuttle (in most cases) for the powerful thrust to launch shuttle in the space and aeroplanes are the commercialized vehicles which has lot more people travelling at one time The rokets use the hybrif fuels which is methyl hydrazine and nitrocellulose and aeroplanes uses highly purifies kerosene.


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

rockets need only upward thrust as a force for flight


How does a rocket use lift and thrust?

Rockets use thrust generated by their engines to push them forward and overcome gravity. They do not rely on lift as traditional airplanes do, as they operate in the vacuum of space. The propulsion from the engines creates the necessary force to lift the rocket off the ground and into space.


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.

Are rockets smaller than airplanes?

It depends. There are model rockets, which of course are smaller than airplanes. Then there are full scale rockets, which are larger than some airplanes. For example, the Space Shuttle Discovery is very large-bigger than most propeller planes and some commercial airliners. But Discovery is also transported on top of a 747. So depending on the rocket, or the airplane you are comparing it to, rockets can be both larger and smaller than airplanes.

What statements are true about airplane and rocket flight?

Both airplanes and rockets rely on the principles of aerodynamics and propulsion to achieve flight, but they operate in different environments. Airplanes fly within the Earth's atmosphere, using wings to generate lift and engines to provide thrust, while rockets operate both in the atmosphere and in space, relying on Newton's third law of motion for thrust. Unlike airplanes, rockets do not require air to generate lift and can travel at much higher speeds, making them essential for reaching outer space. Additionally, airplanes typically require runways for takeoff and landing, whereas rockets launch vertically and can land on various surfaces or return to Earth through controlled descent.


What are common usages of rockets?

fly


Does a rocket have a steering wheel?

No, rockets do not have steering wheels like cars or airplanes. Rockets are controlled using onboard computers and guidance systems that adjust the direction by changing the thrust of rocket engines.
