The main difference between turbojets and rocket engines is the fact that

A. turbojets are not dependent on oxygen from the air.
B. rocket engines need oxygen from the air.
C. turbojets carry their own supply of oxygen as oxidizers.
D. rocket engines are not dependent on oxygen from the air.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is D. rocket engines are not dependent on oxygen from the air. Rockets carry their own oxygen.

Answer;

D. rocket engines are not dependent on oxygen from the air.

Explanation;

-Jet engines and rockets work on the same principle. They produce thrust through an internal pressure difference and, as explained by Newton’s Third Law of Motion, eject exhaust gases in an equal and opposite direction.

-The main difference between them is that jets get the oxygen to burn fuel from the air and rockets carry their own oxygen, which allows them to operate in space.

Additionally, Jet engines have two openings (an intake and an exhaust nozzle). Rocket engines only have one opening (an exhaust nozzle).
