How has the design of rockets changed?
The design of rockets has certainly changed over time. Rockets now are designed to be sleek and very efficient on fuel.
What are microcircuits used for?
In Rockets.
When do rockets get very hot?
When they are launched.
Where is a turbine used?
In jets, speed boats, rockets, some helicopters
Are rockets and jet engines the same?
No. Jet engines draw oxygen from the atmosphere to mix and burn with jet fuel, and cannot function in a vacuum. Rockets carry their own oxygen, and can travel in the vacuum of space.
How is a satellite corrected if it moves to far from its orbit?
Retro rockets .
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.
How did the lunar module slow down to land on the moon?
The lunar module slowed down to land on the moon by firing its descent engine to counteract the pull of gravity and reduce its speed. This controlled burn allowed the module to descend gently and touch down safely on the lunar surface.
Will rockets work in space?
Yes. The space shuttle uses rockets in space to manuever.
How do cheats work with the retro duo?
i don't think they do but n64 does
What is negative speed in science?
Speed in science means vector (direction and velocity). Any force which lessens the vector can be considered negative speed. A spacecraft's retro rockets are a good example.
Do rockets work better in space or in air?
Rockets work better in space than in air. In space, rockets don't have to overcome the resistance caused by air, allowing them to achieve higher speeds and more efficient propulsion. In contrast, in the Earth's atmosphere, rockets have to fight against air resistance which hinders their performance.
Do model rockets and real rockets work the same?
Yes, both work by action/reaction. Model rockets are just much smaller, thus have much less fuel, so can't go near as high or as far.
How does a retro rocket work?
Just like any other rocket. The main difference is that the nozzle(and the direction of thrust) of a retro rocket is aimed in the opposite direction when compared to the main direction of travel. That's where the retro part comes in.
Can you give me info on lemon juice rockets?
it does not work
What law is the reason rockets work?
Galileo's law
Where can I get retro pieces to work with my art deco home decor?
Any thrift store will have a great selection of retro pieces to choose from and they'll of course be well-priced.
