Rocket Science Activity Memo

**Instructions:** This memo contains the correct answers for the Rocket Science Activity.

Section A: Multiple Choice Answers


1. c) Third Law

2. b) To provide extra thrust and then detach

3. b) 11.2 km/s

Section B: Short Answer Answers


4. Newton’s Third Law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In
rockets, when exhaust gases are expelled downward, the rocket is pushed upward.

5. The Tsiolkovsky rocket equation calculates the change in velocity a rocket can achieve
based on its initial and final mass and exhaust velocity.

6. Chemical Rockets: Use combustion to produce thrust. Example: Liquid-fuel rockets.

Electric Rockets: Use electric fields to accelerate ions. Example: Ion thrusters.

7. Liftoff, Ascent, and Orbit Insertion.

8. Orbital velocity is the speed needed for an object to stay in orbit around a planet. It
ensures satellites do not fall back to Earth due to gravity.
