Solid fueled missiles are just that. They are propelled by a solid fuel. For an everyday example of that, pick up an Estes rocket kit from Michael's craft store and look at it's propellant. Liquid propelled missiles us a liquid propellant, like your car. Liquid propellants also require a second oxidiser, either air or stored oxidiser to burn, solid propellants generally have the oxidizer mixed in. Solid fueled rockets typically can be handled rougher as they are more stable than their liquid counterparts. Hope that answers your question.

What is the upward force of an object in a liquid called?

The upward force of an object in a liquid is called buoyancy. This force occurs due to the difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the object immersed in the liquid.


What forces the liquid upward in a straw?

The pressure difference between the atmosphere and inside the straw causes the liquid to be pushed upward. When you create a low pressure by sucking on the straw, the higher air pressure outside the straw pushes the liquid up to equalize the pressure difference.


What is the difference between floating and sinking objects and the density of the liquid they are in?

Floating objects have a lower density than the liquid they are in, causing them to float. Sinking objects have a higher density than the liquid, causing them to sink. The density of the liquid determines whether an object will float or sink based on the relationship between the object's density and the liquid's density.


What is the Liquid Displacement Formula?

The liquid displacement formula is used to calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped object by measuring the volume of liquid it displaces when submerged in a container of liquid. The formula states that the volume of the object is equal to the difference in volume between the liquid level before and after submerging the object.


What is different at the molecular level between a solid and a liquid?

At the molecular level, the main difference between a solid and a liquid is the arrangement and movement of molecules. In a solid, molecules are tightly packed together in a fixed position, vibrating in place. In a liquid, molecules are more loosely packed and can move around each other, allowing the liquid to flow.
