    is thrown‚ hurled or shot in the air‚ the object is a PROJECTILE (“Projectile”). The study of projectile is important because it must be realized that they are very much part of man’s daily life then and now. Whether man likes it or not‚ he encounters and uses projectile in his everyday life. Our hunting ancestors threw stones and spears on animals to kill them for their food. In today’s sports‚ balls follow projectile motion such as when a basketball player shoots the ball into

    7 Lab:Pop Rockets 1. List and explain two ways that you could improve the flight performance of your rocket. Your responses must consider the materials you had available to work with. The rocket I produced was a normal looking rocket compared to the group of rockets I was working with. It was medium size in length and thickness. The head of the rocket was a little wide and lose‚ and the flaps were not arrow dynamic what so ever. To improve the flight I could have made my rocket shorter and

    In the bottle rocket lab‚ our rocket was able to achieve lift off after filling it with water and compressed air. We estimated that our rocket went thirteen and one half meters into the air for an awesome six seconds. When we launched our rocket‚ it followed a parabolic arch from the launch pad to the landing area. As our rocket was flying through the air‚ it maintained its stability through the air due to the fins that were on the side of the rocket which helped to push the air in an even streamlined

    provide the thrust that is needed for a plane to take off and fly through the air. Most spacecraft today are propelled by forcing a gas from the back/rear of the vehicle at very high speed through a supersonic nozzle. This sort of engine is called a rocket engine. Liquid fuel propulsion systems use a fuel‚ such as liquid hydrogen‚ kerosene or alcohol and liquids such as oxygen liquids. The oxygen liquids provides the oxygen necessary to ignite and burn the fuel‚ which in turn enables a spacecraft’s

    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

    Curvilinear Motion Projectile Motion When the player hits the “Sepak”‚ the motion of the “Sepak” is called projectile motion. The “Sepak” itself is called projectile. The “Sepak” will follow a parabolic path called trajectory especially if air resistance is negligible. Two coordinates are usually used to describe projectile motion: horizontal and vertical axes. The horizontal distance traveled by the projectile is called the range. While the vertical distance‚ that is‚ the distance from where
