Kerosene (RP-1)
B.
Liquid Oxygen (LOX)
C.
Hydrazine
D.
Monomethylhydrazine (MMH)
Question 3
What is the primary purpose of a de Laval nozzle in a rocket engine?
A.
To store high-pressure propellants before combustion
B.
To ignite the propellants at high altitude effectively
C.
To thoroughly mix fuel and oxidizer in the combustion chamber
D.
To accelerate exhaust gases to supersonic speeds, converting thermal energy into kinetic energy
Question 4
What does a higher specific impulse (Isp) value typically indicate for a rocket engine?
A.
Higher maximum thrust output
B.
Greater fuel efficiency for a given thrust over time
C.
Increased structural integrity of the engine bell
D.
Faster ignition and shutdown response times
Question 5
Why do most large rockets designed for orbital missions utilize multiple stages?
A.
To provide redundant systems in case of engine failure
B.
To significantly increase the total amount of propellant that can be carried
C.
To shed unnecessary mass (empty propellant tanks and engines) during ascent, improving efficiency
D.
To allow for easier ground transportation and assembly of the rocket
