200
What is used to measure force?

What is a Newton

200
a fuel or substance that is used to make something move
What is propellant
300

located on the  bottom of the rocket where hot gases come out

What is the nozzle 

300
the main part of the rocket that holds all the pieces together
What is body
300
force exerted upon or against an object to move it in a specific direction
What is thrust
300
the branch of mechanics that deals with motion of gases and their effects on bodies in the flow
What is aerodynamics
300

the highest point a rocket will reach in its flight

What is peak altitude 

400

causes the air to flow smoothly around the rocket and located on the top of the rocket 

What is nose cone

400

spot in which a rocket's weight is equally balanced 

What is center of gravity 

400

balanced force before a rocket lift-off 

What is gravity 

400

What does a rocket use once thrust finishes  from the engines? 

What is momentum 

400

A push or pull that causes an object change it shape, direction, and/or motion 

What is force 

500
elastic material that connects the nose cone to the body tube
What is shock cord
500

point on the rocket where all of the aerodynamic forces act; located near tail of the rocket

What is center of pressure

500
force pointing towards the center of the earth
What is weight
500
the cargo of the rocket
What is payload
500
the rate of change of the velocity of an object
What is acceleration
