Rocket Science: How Rockets Work - A Short and Basic Explanation

If there’s no ground to thrust off of, and no air to thrust off of, can the rocket still move?

all of that just to put 1 satellite up. wild.

The atmosphere is thicker on the ground, so leaving the atmosphere will be harder we will need to go faster!!!!!! That makes no sense seriously!!!!!!!

wow Crazy

Mission Mangal please

There’s much better ways to launch payloads to space that people refuse to do

Who is here after chandrayana 3

Sorry about that

Dumb

The rocket does not propel by pushing to the ground. It is by ejecting a large amount of gas produced when the fuel is combusted out in one direction, and so the rocket will have an equal and opposite reaction by moving at the direction opposite to the fuel ejected.

The reason it does a "gravity turn" is because the closest distance is apparently not a straight line... the real reason is because they ditch the rocket in the ocean. The reason for this is because in space, or heliocentric model space is empty with something like (because it changes a lot) 2 hydrogen atoms per cubic meter empty which is infinite so no matter how large the rocket engine is, it could never fill this volume and make something to push against, therefore it becomes something like the sound of one hand clapping.

The problem doesn't stop there, apart from the fraudulent pigs in space BS, the notion that there is this huge exceptionally low pressure surrounding our exceptionally high pressure *by comparison) makes it scientifically impossible for the ball with insane surface speeds of between 300 to 1000 mph where most of the population live, it makes it scientifically impossible for this stupid model to have air.

Boyle's gas law always predicts that gas expands to fill the volume, which was published 25 years prior to Newton's unfinished theory of gravity, has never been shown to not accurately predict what gas always does and in this same time line, no one has ever shown gravity to form an airtight seal or in any way to impede gas from expanding to fill the volume. One would imagine that this would #1 on the checklist as having air is essential for show that the ball is our environment, but, no.

If you have problems with understanding rocket how futile rocket thrust in space is, I suggest you place a vacuum hose nozzle over your mouth and try and blow it off your face. This experiment gives you an infinite advantage over the largest rocket engine.

I love all the videos and explanations that can be easily found about rockets. The more exposure there is on this the better, we need all of the great minds working together in this industry. Thanks for this amazing video!

A rocket ship works by using a combination of thrust and lift to propel itself through the air. The thrust is generated by burning fuel, which creates hot gases that are expelled from the rocket engine, pushing the rocket in the opposite direction. The lift is created by the shape of the rocket, which is designed to create an area of low pressure above it, allowing it to be lifted up.

The type of fuel used in a rocket depends on the mission and what type of engine is being used. Solid fuel rockets use a solid propellant, such as rubber or plastic, while liquid fuel rockets use a liquid propellant, such as kerosene or liquid hydrogen.

The shape of a rocket affects its flight in two ways. Firstly, it affects the aerodynamics of the rocket, allowing it to move more efficiently through the air. Secondly, it affects the lift generated by the rocket, allowing it to reach higher altitudes.

It’s not rocket science

Thanks.

Okay im 15 years old and wanna figure out a way to make smaller rockets around 6 to 10 feet with the able to cary a laptop sized payload to lower earth orbit all while being semi automated by a single person on earth

I. Still don't understand so will one of you explain it to me please

Hello please can I know the characteristics of actuator and sensor , used in the rocket ??

Research operation fishbowl and get past the bs

Mars Rover

They already told us nothing moves by himself in space

"can get the rocket to push against the ground". That is poor physics.

Awesome video!

The title is misleading. This vid is not about a rocket works, it’s about what it does.

Jesus loves yall

Wow.

This is total BS for normies whom have no idea about real physics.

A lot of things are wrong in this video
He made the same mistake as other channel did in their video so I don’t blame him for the misconception in his video

Thanku sir for this video 👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️

AKA How do farts work?

My friends in school and I are gonna go to space August 1st And be the first kids in space

Actually rockets work by conservation of momentum. Consider this: the rocket has to lift its own weight, which includes the fuel, so if it was an equal and opposite reaction, the rocket would never get off the pad because even if it ejected all the mass of fuel and oxidizer out the back, it would not generate enough thrust to move. In the engine, the fuel is burned and the rapidly expanding exhaust gas is directed downward by the nozzle. Since the exhaust gas moves so fast, it can generate a large change in momentum with a relatively small mass. So what you see at launch is the relatively light exhaust gas being ejected backwards at a high velocity, but the relatively heavy rocket moving forward off the pad somewhat slowly. Note the momentum is conserved at all times, the momentum of the high-velocity low-mass exhaust gas has changed the same amount as high-mass low-velocity rocket.

Note: Fuel for the Shuttle's main engines comes from the external tank. So it is not jettisoned until after the engines have completed their burn. Once the ET is jettisoned, the Shuttle makes its major burns using the OMS (orbital maneuvering system) engines, which have an on-board fuel supply.

Another error is that the Shuttle exhaust does not act against the ground at liftoff. The Shuttle launch stand actually holds it quite a way above the ground. There are huge blast deflectors under the launch stand that direct the blast to the sides. They want to be sure that the exhaust gas is not reflected back where it might damage the spacecraft. The deflectors direct the exhaust sideway into large brick-lined flame trenches, which allow it to flow away from the launch pad.

I’m here from 2022 💀

My fav

but how does newtons third law work in the vacuum of space? there is nothing for the action to get a reaction from? like there isnt something for the rocket to push itself from?

This video answers most of my curiosity questions about rockets. Thanks!

I hate my science teacher so much omg why we have 14 pages of work and only in middle school

So tell me.. if the rocket is also spinning with the earth at 1032mph east to west at what point does it lose that speed once in orbit ?

Informative video with good animations and explanations of the concepts of how rockets work, thanks! However, the audio quality made it hard to listen to and understand.

Thank you for explaining, I want to learn rocket science and this is my first step

Rockets are interesting. They are not just the only way we know to practically travel in space. They are also the only way to reach such high speeds. Rocket engine is extremely inefficient from the start, but efficiency increases the faster it goes.
An interesting thing about rocket engines is: while it consumes a constant amount of energy per unit time, the rocket's kinetic energy increases with the square of time. Eventually, the added kinetic energy will be higher than the consumed energy! No, it would be in opposition to the physical laws. In any case, the fuel will run out before it happens.
As far as I understand it.

Great Explained

Thanks
