    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.

    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…

    • 3 Pages

    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…
