MODEL ROCKETRY HONOUR

Which one is a safety rule for model rocketry?

• Aim rockets directly at spectators for fun.
• Launch rockets in an open area away from people and flammable materials.
• Launch rockets indoors for better control.
• Use any available materials for rocket construction.

What is the engine in the model rocket used for?

• To provide thrust for propulsion.
• To measure altitude during launch.
• To stabilize the rocket's trajectory.
• To cool the rocket during flight.

What is the purpose of the nose cone on a model rocket ?

• To store the rocket's fuel.
• To enhance the rocket's color scheme.
• To reduce aerodynamic drag and stabilize the rocket's flight.
• To increase the weight of the rocket.

What is the recovery system in a model rocket used for?

• To safely return the rocket to the ground after flight.
• To stabilize the rocket's trajectory in the air.
• To provide additional thrust for the rocket.
• To increase the rocket's altitude during flight.

What is the purpose of the fins on a model rocket?

• The fins increase the rocket's weight.
• The fins stabilize the rocket during flight.
• The fins are used for decoration only.
• The fins help the rocket launch faster.

What are the steps in the flight of a model rocket?

• Ascent, descent, and explosion
• Launch preparation, ignition, and landing
• Preparation, ignition, and crash
• The steps in the flight of a model rocket include launch preparation, ignition, ascent, apogee, ejection of recovery system, descent, and recovery.

What is referred to as "Payload" in model rocketry?

• Payload is the height the rocket can reach.
• Payload is the additional weight or objects carried by the rocket.
• Payload refers to the rocket's engine type.
• Payload is the rocket's fuel source.

Why is knowing about "center of gravity" so important in model rocketry?

• It influences the choice of rocket materials.
• It is crucial for calculating the rocket's weight.
• Knowing about the center of gravity is important in model rocketry for ensuring stability and proper flight path.
• It helps in determining the color of the rocket.
