Rocket

Rocket Analysis This project was about building a rocket that was able to launch. We were expected to make a rocket with a nose, wings and the rockets body. We could use all the things able to make our rockets fly. But in the process, we also had some constraints were that I couldn’t make the rocket balance the way I wanted it to. And, the materials needed to keep the wings and nose on were too heavy for the rocket. The design I chose for my rocket was simple, I had to use Styrofoam for the wings and some thick paper for the nose. My design for the nose was a sharp shaped and light. I chose this shape because I remember my sister had the same design and her rocket went high, and I decided to use this nose. And I also made my fins out of Styrofoam because I…

In Homer’s memoir, Rocket Boys, family is possibly the biggest factor when it comes to a person’s drive. In this case Sonny’s dad, Homer, is strongly against Sonny’s progression with the rockets. He wants Sonny to grow up and be a mine engineer however, Sonny is positive he doesn’t want to have anything to do with the mine. Homer Sr. believes the rocket building is frivolous, while Sonny plans on getting a scholarship through them. This results in their relationship being poisonous. Elsie,…

bottle rockets can be controlled by a multitude of factors. To understand these factors, mathematics can show us how they interact and how they affect performance. Water Bottle Rockets are mainly used for educational purposes in schools. They are used to explore basic aerodynamics and physics. Water rockets demonstrate many different forces such as weight, thrust, lift, and drag. Basic parts of a common bottle rocket include a nose cone, fins, a base, and a launcher used to launch the rocket. …

Rockets are more than just a machine. It’s a machine, which can travel a great amount of height, and distance where once the human race thought it was impossible. There are actually many different types of rockets such as, balloon rockets, water rockets, and skyrockets. Every rocket plays the same role, taking you to places whether up into space or under the deep sea. Rockets are fascinating machines that changed history. Rockets have helped us explore and learn about the world we live in. We…

you ever think that rocket science would make it this far, I personally didn't so that's why I decided to change it. Background info (birthplace, birthdate, any relevant childhood info., relevant relationship info., etc.): I was Born October 5th 1882 in Worcester, Massachusetts, to Fannie Louise Hoyle and Nahum Danford Goddard. As a child I Became interested In Space after reading, The War of The Worlds by H.G Wells. I Got a Doctorate from Clark University in 1908. I Joined Princeton University…

Script Are reusable rockets a sustainable possibility for the future? What are rockets? Rocket technology is extremely wasteful, and being a one shot wonder, they show no promise of a sustainable future. When a rocket is launched, it is propelled based upon newton’s 3rd law of motion; “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” This is done by using on board propellant which is then used to create thrust from a rocket engine, by ejecting thrust in the opposite direction to…

This experiment was done to see what variables (weight, wind, friction etc.) affected the apogee of the rocket. The class did this by recording everyone's rocket weight and compared them to the apogee's after they had been launched. Due to different variables, the apogee might be affected in a variety of ways, one being the weather. After the class found all of the data, it was compared and analyzed for any patterns. The rocket had different forces acting upon it during the flight stages. The…

Rocket Boys Essay - Determination The novel Rocket Boys follows the life of a young Homer Hickam Jr. and his life as a teen in the small mining town of Coalwood, West Virginia during the Space Race era. Homer and some of his friends are fascinated by the idea of space exploration and decided to create their own rockets though their homemade organization, called the “Big Creek Missile Association”. The idea is seen as completely ludicrous at first, but the boys work hard to overcome the doubt…

was fascinated when he saw a rocket go into space at night and he wanted to do the same thing. He became fascinated in rockets and wanted to build them though his father told him not to. He followed what he wished for and he ended up getting the right team and all the needed parts for the rocket. He ended up winning the science fair and getting a scholarship to college so he didn't have to work in the mines. The rocket was a great success and he was famous for his rocket and what he had…

Rockets are a very important aspect to the world, for they help in making huge discoveries in science and astronomy. Expensive materials, such as aluminum, titanium, and nickel alloy, help make a sturdy rocket. For the bottle rocket, my partner, Maren Cheney, and I used the following materials: 2 plastic 2-liter bottles, office folder paper, clear duct tape, yarn, 2 sponges, and cotton. The payload of the rocket is the object(s) being carried throughout the flight. While the payload of real…
