Michelle Thompson October Sky September 30‚ 2012 Professor Bejtlich The movie October Sky is about Homer Hickam who was inspired to build a rocket and never gave up until his dreams became a reality . Entrepreneurship is a career path that doesn’t always prove to be an instant success. Entrepreneurship is a field that involves determination‚ passion‚ vision‚ and the power to succeed. If there were anyone who can relate to these qualities‚ it would be Homer Hickam. Growing up in a small mining

Uniform Acceleration Cedric C. Labasan Physics Department‚ De La Salle University St. Joseph Hall Room 404‚ 2401‚ Taft Avenue‚ Manila‚ Philippines cedric_labasan@dlsu.ph Abstract This lab report defines what uniform acceleration is and how to calculate uniform acceleration of a cart rolling down a ramp at different angles and elevations. The experiment will be performed by setting the cart on the track against the end stop and then record this final position on the steel ramp ten times

started off with a bottle rocket project. This project lead us to become more educated with Newton’s laws of motion. The bottle rockets also lead you to learn about mass‚ force‚ and acceleration. As you know the first law of motion is that if objects at rest will stay at rest‚ or objects in motion will stay in motion‚ unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Well in order for the rocket to lift off it will need force applied to it. It is required to add water for your rocket and you don’t want to add

Build Water Rockets Explain how they work and ask the students which of Newton’s laws apply to them. You should talk about what forces are acting on the water rocket to make it move (talk conceptually about the idea of a free body diagram). You should have the force from the ejected propellant acting upwards‚ and the weight and air resistance acting downwards. Talk about how each law applies to the physics of the water rocket. Try to have the students identify which

A rocket in its simplest form is a chamber enclosing a gas under pressure. A small opening at one end of the chamber allows the gas to escape‚ and in doing so provides a thrust that propels the rocket in the opposite direction. Newton’s laws can be used to explain this his laws in the simplest terms can be explained like this: First law- Objects at rest will stay at rest and objects in motion will stay in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Second law- Force

young man named Homer Hickam who grows up in Coalwood and aspires to become a miner like every male in the town. He becomes obsessed with building his own rockets after he witnesses an artificial satellite goes into orbit‚ and he achieves a wonderful goal even though he needs to surmount difficulties. However‚ his passion for building a real rocket makes him willing to take risks and explore new adventures even though he fails several times. There are many kinds of obstacles people face in life‚

CASE 35 A Sea Launch Recovery? CIRCA 2008 Sea Launch engineers say the three-week round-trip journey across the Pacific Ocean is the most rewarding part of their jobs. The cruise is the culmination of nearly two months of work preparing the rocket‚ payload‚ and launch teams for the mission. Prior to operations at Home Port‚ about 18 months goes into the planning‚ flight design‚ and logistics. “It’s really nice to know most of the reviews are over and we’re finally ready to launch‚” said Bill Rujevcan

time taken to reach 100 km/h for 2000cc mid-size category between Japan cars and Germany cars The line graph shows the information about the time taken for 2000cc mid-size cars from Japan and Germany cars to reach 100km/h. The Japanese cars acceleration was a bit slower than the Germany cars with the same engine capacity. The Honda Accord was clocked at 10.7 seconds when it reached from 0-100km/h. The second car was the Toyota Camry‚ scored a 12.5 second for its trial. The next car was the Nissan

Before baseline 11-10 launches‚ the distance rocket traveled 6.73m and weighed 1.12 grams and the seconds rocket went .92 seconds and weighed .95 grams. By adding some cardstock for fins and taking off my clay and replacing it with tape it went quite a bit further and it went quite a bit faster‚ the weight was .93 grams. With the weight taken off‚ the rocket went 1.796 m farther. For the baseline launches‚ the distance average was 7.465m and .91 seconds and for the height the average was 2
