    Solid fuel rockets use solid propellants that are ignited to produce thrust for applications like space shuttle launches. The solid fuel combusts in a controlled manner within the rocket chamber, producing gases that are expelled through a nozzle, which propels the rocket forward due to Newton's Third Law of Motion. Key components include the solid fuel, ignition system, combustion chamber, and nozzle which work together to convert the fuel into propulsion through chemical reactions and vector forces.

    Solid Fuel Rockets

    By: Nick Weissert and Alex Stouder


    Production of Propulsion
    Production of Propulsion;
    -Form of ignition (electric or fire)
    -Solid fuel combusts
    -Controlled burning to prevent explosion
    -Thrust routed through nozzle
    -Uses newtons law to propel forward
    Applications

    Space Shuttle Launch


    Components
    Conversion of fuel to Propulsion
    -Substance is ignited directly or hydrogen gas
    that is docile near it is ignited
    -Controlled combustion creates gas that
    pressures and is pushed out of the nozzle of
    the rocket
    -rocket propels in opposite direction of the gas
    leaving due to newtons third law
    Vector Forces
