100
Objects at rest remain at rest and objects in motion remain in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
What is Newton's first law of motion?
100
An amount, size, speed, or degree that can be measured.
What is magnitude?
100
Major systems engineers grouped their parts into.
What are structural, payload, guidance, and propulsion?
100
Air is its "working fluid."
What is an air rocket?
100
A missile designed to deliver a payload to another spot on Earth several thousand miles away.
What is an intercontinental ballistic missile?
200
Foce equals mass times accerleration (f=ma).
What is Newton's second law of motion?
200
A rocket's end that releases gas, smoke, and flame to produce thrust.
What is a nozzle?
200
Refers to the frame.
What is the structural system?
200
Also called a water rocket.
What is a bottle rocket?
200
Assembly, test, and launch operations.
What is ALTO?
300
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's third law of motion?
300
A substance that includes oxygen to aid combustion.
What is oxidizer.
300
Missions determine this.
What is the payload system?
300
Most commonly used rocket for educational purposes.
What is a model rocket?
300
The specific timeframe during which a laungh can take place.
What is launch window?
400
Unbalanced forces that can act upon a rocket when in motion or at rest.
What are weight, thrust, lift, and drag?
400
Amound of matter that is shout out of a rocket's engine.
What is mass?
400
Rests just below the payload system and connects to parts elsewhere on the rocket.
What is the guidance system?
400
In the same league as the space shuttle.
What is a full-scale booster?
400
The thin metal cover, or nose cone, that protects a spacecraft and upper stages during a launch when aerodynamic forces can batter the rocket.
What is payload shroud?
500
One of Newton's laws that gives you an additional insight into how rockets work.
What is Newton's third law?
500
A change in motion, which can be a speeding up, a slowing down, or a change in direction.
What is acceleration?
500
Go in two classes: liquid rocket engines and solid rocket motors.
What is the propulsion system?
500
Rocket with engines made by mixing and then packing fuel and oxidizer together into the rocket's body.
What is a solid propellant rocket?
500
A physical structure used to connect a spacecraft to a launch vehicle.
What is launch vehicle adapter?
