SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: A rocket uses fuel (chemical potential energy) to power it.

Detailed explanation-2: -High-pressure gas is obtained by burning fuel. After the rocket has been fired, chemical energy, which was stored in the rocket fuel, has been converted into kinetic energy of the gas and the ship.

Detailed explanation-3: -Unfortunately, a lot of the chemical energy of the propellant is wasted during the flight. A lot of the heat energy created by the pro-pellant does not go into the particles moving out the nozzle. Some of the energy is absorbed by the rocket casing. You probably felt this when you picked up the rocket after launch.

Detailed explanation-4: -Here’s how it works-at liftoff the rocket’s powerful main engine starts and produces thrust. Thrust accelerates the rocket, with its payload, away from the launch pad. A typical rocket produces more than a million pounds of thrust that allows it to carry more than 6, 000 pounds at speeds topping 22, 000 miles per hour.

Detailed explanation-5: -We launch satellites and spacecraft into space by putting them on rockets carrying tons of propellants. The propellants give the rocket enough energy to boost away from Earth’s surface.
