AMT (FINALS) Flashcards
This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
Newton’s reaction principle (Third law)
This engine operates independently of the atmosphere
rocket engine
This type of rockets are advantageous due to their simple design, with fewer moving parts
Solid-propellant rockets
This engine requires forward motion to compress incoming air
ramjet
This type of rocket, the combustion relies on fuel and oxidizer
liquid-propellant rocket
Ramjet engines operates best at what speed
high speed
Rocket engines primarily operate on the principle of
conservation of momentum
are known for producing no exhaust
Electric propulsion system
This engine combines characteristics of both rockets and jets
scramjet engine
This type of rocket have a drawback in that they cannot be shut down once ignited
solid propellant rocket
In space, a rocket engine is powered by
fuel and oxidizer
Where does combustion in jet engine takes place
combustion chamber
Where do ramjets depend for air compression
vehicle’s speed
Electric thrusters uses what to generate energy
solar cells
Ramjets are commonly used in what type of aircraft
high-speed aircraft
This engine uses atmospheric oxygen as the oxidizer and functions best at high speeds
scramjet
Scramjets differ from ramjets because they operate at
hypersonic speeds
It provides the rocket engine oxygen for combustion
oxidizer
