    HSC Physics Marathon 2016

    Ohhhh so if we are constantly burning fuel from the same rank the whole way , the ship would be experiencing too many g's causing a black out. Hence dumping them will keep the acceleration at a constant level instead and that constant acceleration would be under say 6 g's to stop people's dying...

    I don't think so :/ wouldn't dumping empty fuel tanks allow for greater acceleration in the upward direction ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ohh so do you mean I should talk about the re-entry ? Because stoping acceleration upon launching would seem counterintuitive :/ Was my answer complete rubbish or did I get some marks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Multi-staged rockets are a necessity when it comes to space exploration. In order to launch a rocket off the ground, it will need an enormous velocity to escape the pull of gravity. This 'escape velocity' is hard to achieve due to the mass of liquid rocket fuel (approx 0.01% of the volume of its...

    For a rocket to return to earth is must obviously re-enter the earths atmosphere. During the rockets re-entry a lot can go wrong if it's angle of entry is not between 2 and 7 degrees ( probably a bit off ). This angle is defined as the optimum re-entry angle. If the rockets angle of re entry is...

    General questions

    Is there a difference between truss girder and box girder bridges ? Is a box girder just more specific ? If so what would each look like. What makes a truss girder bridge different from the rest ?

    General questions

    As some of you guys may know I'm doing engineering by distance education hence I won't have a teacher to answer my questions. Google is unspecific at times so i guess I'm relying on you guys

    Engineering Textbooks & Notes

    Hey guys!! I have thrown myself into a hole of doom by doing engineering through distance education. I am relying on people's notes, past papers and I am look for a textbook to learn from. WHAT IS THE BEST TEXTBOOK FOR ENGINEERING ??!! Also if anyone has some notes please let me have them ;( !!!
