A firecracker typically contains gunpowder, a fuse, and a casing made of paper or cardboard. When the fuse is ignited, the gunpowder inside explodes, creating the loud noise and sparks that characterize a firecracker.
Can a spark ignite gunpowder?
Yes, a spark can ignite gunpowder. Gunpowder is an explosive mixture that can be ignited by a heat source, such as a spark, to create an explosion. It is a key component in firearms and fireworks.
What is the energy conversion of a firecracker?
A firecracker converts chemical energy stored in its gunpowder into thermal and light energy when ignited. The combustion reaction in the gunpowder produces heat and light, resulting in the explosive effect of a firecracker.
How display fireworks work?
fireworks are usually made in china, (as a lot of things are) and they are basically gunpowder, sulfate, charcoal, nitrate, fuses, and colors (to make them appear colorful) so when they are lit, the fuse burns all the way down, hits the gunpowder, and the force blows it up into the air (also causing it to, more or less, explode into colors)
Is gunpowder and gas safe to mix?

In a diesel engine the air fuel mixture is ignited by?
It is ignited by compression. The air fuel mixture is compressed by the piston going up. Some diesels have glow plugs too that heat up the air fuel mixture so it is more easily ignited.
How is the engine ignited?
A petrol engine is ignited by a spark plug, and a diesel engine is ignited by the heat produced from the air/ fuel mixture being compressed in the cylinder

What was the first Chinese rocket?
The first Chinese rocket was basically numerous arrows put in a tube with gunpowder near the bottom and then ignited for propulsion of the arrows
How did the ancient Chinese rockets work?
The gunpowder tubes were filled with gunpowder, with one end closed and the other end open. A small hole was left for the blasting fuse. When ignited, the gunpowder would burn inside the tube, producing a large amount of gas, which would produce enormous forward propulsion.
