Rocket Science

The forwardmost section of a rocket that is conically shaped.

• Pointy Front

• Nose Cone

• Cap

• Weather Resister

If an object does not change its position with respect to its surroundings with time, it is considered at:

• rest

• right angle

• kinetic

• none of these

The rate of change of velocity per unit of time.

• direction

• acceleration

• speed

• velocity

Force that attracts an object toward the center of the earth.

• friction

• potential

• gravity

• inertia
