just after the rockets engine is lit, a surge of kinetic energy is transferred to it that sends it skywards. where was the kinetic energy transferred to the rocket from? drag and drop the best answer into the white box. note: use ctrl+d to drag the option via keyboard. chemical potential energy of the rocket fuel, electromagnetic potential energy, gravitational potential energy, spring mechanism in the launch platform
Answer
Brief Explanations:
When a rocket's engine is lit, the chemical potential energy stored in the rocket fuel is converted into kinetic energy which propels the rocket sky - wards. Other forms like electromagnetic potential energy, gravitational potential energy and spring mechanism in the launch platform are not the source of the kinetic energy that sends the rocket skywards in this context.
Answer:
chemical potential energy of the rocket fuel
