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…

There are a handful of players you think of when you think of the greatest NBA players ever, whether it be statistically or just the one that captured you, or your parents hearts as kids growing up. Who is really the best? Michael Jordan is absolutely, without a doubt the greatest basketball player ever. What makes Michael the best from the other greats like, Hakeem Olajuwon, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, and Elgin Baylor? Many things separate him from the others, not just his scoring,…

bottle rockets was a difficult task, for there were many steps to follow. After all the groups launched their rockets, my partner and I compared the data for each group. Before launching the rockets, I inferred that a rocket with a lighter mass would affect time aloft by the rocket staying in flight for a longer time. For example, the rocket of Group #8 (Steven P. and Matthew P.) had a mass of 204.2 grams, and it stayed in flight for exactly 7.61 seconds. With a mass of 470.9 grams, the rocket…

than a rocket, but the question is will a rocket without wings fly straight and high? This question is what my team of Jack, Gus and I at Nature’s Classroom decided to test. It was a beautiful, calm afternoon at Nature’s Classroom which I attended with most of my 6th grade class. We could see the bright, clear sky on this beautiful Autumn day. My friend Jack and I walked over to a table in the middle of the woods to begin our stomp rockets class. Spooky said, “Welcome to our Stomp Rockets…

The Ultimate NBA Playoff Experience “They need a three to tie, Lowry half court heave a prayer at the buzzer, oh Kyle Lowry he hits and we are going to overtime in Toronto (Eastern).” This is what Kevin Harlen, a NBA commentator, said during the game as Kyle Lowry hit a buzzer beater to go into overtime in the playoffs.

Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Shaquille O’neal, Hakeem Olajuwon: What these six former NBA players share aside from their intimidating stature and hall of fame status is that, unbeknownst to them (and a vast majority of NBA fans and analysts as well for that matter), they would be the last of their kind in the NBA for the foreseeable future. Each player’s exit from the league brought us one step closer to the end of an era in the NBA; an era that was not only…

It was the year 2025. All rocket engines still relied on the same traditional rocket engines for launch; the same technology as the 1960s. A new way to propel rockets was needed to make rockets efficient and affordable. The traditional engines could not carry huge payloads and used a lot of fuel, affecting the environment. All the space tourism companies had to sell tickets for $100,000 or more due to the rising costs of fuel, so only the wealthiest could afford going on a space vacation. One…

Returning to school after having been in the newspaper, the Rocket Boys discover that they are treated a bit differently. The football players are no longer the heroes, and while they have not achieved the level of hero yet, they are better off. The school curriculum has changed due to Sputnik with hours of homework every night. In addition to this, Sonny is trying to learn calculus and other math in order to be able to launch his rockets better. Miss Riley is his chemistry teacher who one day…

The American professor Robert H. Goddard had worked on developing solid-fuel rockets since 1914, and demonstrated a light battlefield rocket to the US Army Signal Corps only five days before the signing of the armistice that ended World War I. He also started developing liquid-fueled rockets in 1921; yet he had not been taken seriously by the public.[19] Von Braun and his team were sent to the United States Army's White Sands Proving Ground, located in New Mexico, in 1945.[20] They set about…
