Rocket launch

Have you ever been on a road trip and then everything falls apart? I’m talking screaming siblings, hungry family, and most of all feeling uncomfortable the whole drive. Well, this is exactly what happened to my family on our 2016 road trip to California. Not to mention we had everything planned. Every place, cost, time, and snack. What could have possibly gone wrong? For as far back as I can remember, every other summer my family has taken a long journey to Southern California to visit…

In this, the rocket acts as a projectile being launched from the track by the produced magnetic force. Compared to standard methods, this alternative is beneficial as it is generally launched from higher altitudes (Figure 3). From Italian scientist, Galileo's study of projectile motion, it is known that increasing the launch height will reduce the required launch velocity (The Open University, 1995). Kinetic energy is directly proportional…

different sized water rockets to find out the optimum amount of fuel (water) for each the different rocket sizes. I will be measuring the ranges at which each rocket will fly to find out the optimum fuel level. A brief summary of water rockets: A water rocket is made up of a selection of parts to provide its successful launch: the nose cone which will make the rather snub-nosed end of the large plastic bottle more aerodynamic. The fins which are important for ensuring that the rocket flies…

that it would launch a long range rocket between February 8th and February 25th. North Korea claims that its rocket program is peaceful and aimed at gathering weather data; however, because North Korea’s relationship with many other countries and organizations is strained, groups, such as the American government as well as the United Nations, have been carefully watching the isolated country. Recently, the country’s government rescheduled the range of days that it would launch its rocket to…

In conclusion, we can use Newton’s 3 laws of motion to maximize our rockets’ flight time. For Newton’s first law, our hypothesis stated the following: “We can apply Newton’s first law by minimizing the forces that resist motion. The way we will do this is to make the nose cone as smooth and pointy as possible. If the nose cone is too flat on the end, it will not cut through the air very well. The rocket must cut through the air swiftly, this means that resistance will be at its minimum during…

are a lot of alien and UFO footage on YouTube. So it is always good to see a scary rocket that may be heading for Mars one day. New footage of a SpaceX rocket cruising down Main Street America may be intimidating to some YouTube viewers. Simply because it is footage of a real rocket that will go to space. And not a bizarre flying saucer that is blowing up volcanoes with laser beams. The footage of the SpaceX rocket was posted by USLaunchReport. There YouTube channel has a little more than 3,500…

NASA. It needs a new budget plan to end its uneconomical rocket program: the Space Launch System. NASA has the capability to return to its former stature and recapture the public’s attention. However, significant changes are necessary to achieve this goal. Recognize the steps in history that have led NASA to this unfortunate situation.…

decision to launch the Challenger was right or wrong, but whether if it was ethical of them to decide to launch the shuttle at that point in time based what they knew about the conditions pertaining to the launch. In order to analyze this, I will be using the virtue theory. However, before the analysis can be done, an understanding of the case and virtue theory must be discussed. 2. Case Description In order to understand the ethical issues involved, the events leading up to the launch need to…

on perfecting the launch vehicle that will be the first step in getting humans out of the atmosphere. The rocket that NASA plans to accomplish this feat with is the Space Launch System (SLS). The SLS will be NASA’s most powerful rocket to date…

Rocket Lab Experiment #4 Lilly Creswick (w/ Michelle Kubrin) Colorado School of Mines Chemistry 121 section 2AB Tace Rand Dr. Caster, Dr. Falconer, Dr. Sower September 20, 2016 Abstract: The Rocket Lab aimed to create a successful rocket made out of a pipet bulb filled with Acetylene and Oxygen gas. Different ratios of Oxygen and Acetylene gas were used to determine what would create the largest propulsion and launch the rocket bulb the furthest. A pipet bulb was used as the…
