What do airplanes and rockets have in common?
an engine for thrust and wings/fins for control.
How do you use thrust to overcome drag?
phaan di
2 forces that help overcome gravity?
Lift and Thrust
What helps an airplane overcome drag so it can thrust forward?
Aerodynamics help reduce drag so the engines can produce thrust.
What forces must be overcome while on a moving swing?
Gravity must be overcome.
Why do rockets use thrust?
Rockets use thrust to overcome the force of Earth's gravity.
What must airplanes and rockets do to fly through the air?
They must have sufficient thrust from their engines and lift from their wings to overcome their weight and the aerodynamic drag forces. Most rockets do not have sufficient wings to lift them but their engines provide a thrust force that is greater than their weight and it keeps pushing them vertically in the air.
What must overcome by a rocket's thrust?
The payload's weight
What makes homemade rockets launch into the air?
The thrust of what is propelling it upwards. The forces of thrust and lift once it is going must counteract gravity and friction. Which in homemade rockets it does for a while... but it eventually falls to earth.
How do rockets come back to earth?
Rockets ignite propellants to produce thrust. Thrust is the physical force generated by the rocket's engines burning fuel and is required to overcome the effect of gravity. When designing rockets, engineers determine the mass of the rocket to determine how much force gravity exerts on it. Then, the thrust force generated by the rapidly burning propellant must accelerate the rocket to escape velocity (where thrust is greater than gravitational pull on the mass of the rocket)
How do rockets propel a spaceship forward?
Thrust
What is lift from a rocket?
Rockets do not have lift, they have thrust.
How do rockets get into the sky?
Thrust power. All the fuel burns up to make thrust.
What is the difference between water rockets and modern rockets?
Water rockets use water and air modern rockets use thrust and oxygen.
What makes rockets fast?
Thrust. All you have to do is look up the definition of thrust (the physics term).
Why are things like rockets able to fly?
Thrust
What forces are acting on the spaceship as it leaves the earth?
Thrust, which is propelling the spaceship upward, Gravity,which pulls the spaceship down, and must be overcomed by Thrust, Friction, from the air that wants to slow the spaceship down, and which also must be overcome, and Lift, which is the response from thrust and what keeps the spaceship airborne.
