Ow Does A Rocket Work

How Everyday Things Work

By investigating common but perplexing phenomena such as squeaking doors and TV pictures, students learn how mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, and environmental science are relevant to their lives. 60 reproducible activities each describe a principle and then reinforce it through experiments or questions. Includes background information and answers.

Introduction to Rocket Science and Engineering

Introduction to Rocket Science and Engineering, Second Edition, presents the history and basics of rocket science, and examines design, experimentation, testing, and applications. Exploring how rockets work, the book covers the concepts of thrust, momentum, impulse, and the rocket equation, along with the rocket engine, its components, and the physics involved in the generation of the propulsive force. The text also presents several different types of rocket engines and discusses the testing of rocket components, subsystems, systems, and complete products. The final chapter stresses the importance for rocket scientists and engineers to creatively deal with the complexities of rocketry.
