Extended Investigation | Liam Hallam Cameron Martin | Bottle Rockets | Table of Contents This extended investigation serves to examine and evaluate the physical forces that affect the flight of a bottle rocket. This will be accomplished by altering the water levels and the level of air pressure (psi) within the rocket will be altered‚ and tested‚ to further understand the mechanics of bottle rockets. Introduction Rocket flight has long been at the forefront of the human race’s exploration

Rockets‚ space shuttles‚ and space stations are all used for many different reasons and there are many different examples of all three space crafts. A rocket is a one time use craft that is powered by gases being forced out of a small hole very fast causing the rocket to fly.Space shuttles are multiple use crafts that are propelled into space by rockets that are attached to the shuttle and then the shuttle moves around in space under its own power. Space stations are crafts that stay

A model rocket is fired vertically from an elevated launch pad at an initial height of 4 feet at an initial velocity of 350 feet per second. The gravitational force of Earth is pulling the rocket down at a rate of 16 feet per second per second. The formula for‚ s(t)‚ for the function that models the height of the water balloon at time t‚ in seconds‚ is s(t)= -16t2 + 350t + 4. We can determine how long it takes for the rocket to land from the graph where the function intercepts the x-axis because

Ariane 5 Rocket Disaster On the 4th of June 1996‚ around 40 seconds after initiation of the flight sequence‚ the maiden flight of the Ariane 5 Launcher ended in failure. An independent Inquiry Board was nominated to determine the cause of the launcher failure‚ and found that the inertial reference system (IRS) was the cause of this incident; a system error propagating through the control‚ commanding large corrections in altitude leading to the destruction of the vehicle.

A) Charles Darwin states that in the beginning‚ all beings were created equal but due to the process of natural selection‚ some beings will be more prevalent than others. Because a species survival depends upon reproduction‚ those that are more appealing and accommodating will be reproduced more abundantly. These species have to generate from a beginning genus. The diagram on pages 170 and 171 are used to visually represent Charles Darwin’s idea of how an organism’s characteristics are determined
