Question

What speed in mph will a typical rocket firework reach?

Answer 1

A typical rocket firework can reach speeds of up to 150 mph. Rocket fireworks are launched from a tube and propelled into the sky, where they then explode in a shower of sparks.

Answer 2

A typical rocket firework can reach a speed of around 150-200 miles per hour (mph) at its peak. However, the speed can vary depending on the size and design of the firework. The rocket will accelerate rapidly during its ascent before reaching its peak and then decelerate as it falls back down to the ground. It is important to handle fireworks with extreme caution to avoid injury and always follow safety guidelines.

Answer 3

Fireworks are believed to have been invented in ancient China during the 2nd century BC. It is said that Chinese alchemists were experimenting with various ingredients, including sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter which eventually led to the discovery of fireworks.
