Tell me the 4 phases of the flight sequence
Launch, powered ascent, inertial ascent and decline
What force combined with the lift allows the airplane to rise into the air?
The thrust generated by engines
What is a rocket used for?
A space vehicle designed to carry payloads, such as satellites, scientific research modules, crews and supplies, out of the Earth's atmosphere and into outer space.
What is the purpose of the rocket fin?

When does newton's third law apply on a rocket?
In the launch
All the forces in the rocket act in this phase
Powered ascent
Which force is opposite to the thrust?
a. Weight
b. Drag
c. Lift
b. Drag
What force makes a rocket go up?
The propulsion force made by the expulsion of gases
Part of the rocket that contains the propellant and the engine
Rocket body
What does the burned fuel generate?
A momentum
In what phase the recovery system is deployed?
a. Decline
b. Launch
c. Inertial ascent
a. Decline
Why does a rocket not rely on air for its upward motion?
Because rockets are propelled by the expulsion of gases at high velocity, which generates a forward force that propels the rocket upward and out of the earth's atmosphere.
