Best Answer

Solid rocket propellants have the highest impulse densities typically 17 lbm-sec/in^3 or greater. Bi-propellant liquid rocket propellants such as Liquid Oxygen/Kerosene also have high density impulse, typically 12 lbm-sec/in^3 while Liquid Oxygen/Liquid Hydrogen have low density impulse below 6 lbm-sec/in^3.

With a oxidizer can methane gas be a space rocket propellant?

Absolutely. Various rocket fuels are rated in "Specific Impulse", which is how much kick you get for how much fuel mass (or weight). This strongly influences the choice of fuels. Hydrogen and Oxygen is VERY high. Methane and Oxygen....not so much.

Is the role of fossil fuels in the carbon cycle?

The role of fossil fuels in the carbon cycle is to produce carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels are considered to be the highest contributors to pollution of the environment.


An impulse is the product of the on an object and the time during which it is applied?

What happens when an impulse acts on an object? Impulse is defined as force acting on an object for a specific time. Impulse = Force * time If you push on a object for a specific time, the object's velocity will change. Equation = F* t = mass * ∆ v This equation is derived from F = m* a, a = ∆v ÷ t
