Without the exploration of the liquid fueled rocket Robert Goddard made in 1926 the world would be almost no where today in space travel. And without his exchange with the Smithsonian Institution the liquid fueled rocket might not have been a possibility. Robert Goddard was born October 5th‚ 1882 in Worcester Massachusetts. His mother was Fannie Hoyt and his father was Nahum Goddard. As a child Robert was not the best student he missed many days of school in high school. However‚ he was very successful

Water Rocket Lab Kinematics: Motion in Two Dimensions Cindy Cao AP Physics 1-212 Changzhou Senior High School of Jiangsu Province Abstract This paper introduces an experiment about launching a water rocket. The projectile motion of this water rocket will be examined.In this experiment‚the water rocket will be launched at 4 different angles 30°，45°60°and 90 °.We will measure the ranges‚maximum altitudes and air time in order to have a better understanding of the projectile motion.As the practical

REPORT2013JAN-PHISICS Group: LUCA Does mass/weight affect acceleration? Hypothesis: The heavier the car the slower ( the more the mass the slower)‚ the more weight(force) we added the faster. Experiment: Materials: Trolley Elastic cords for accelerating trolley Rod for attaching elastic cord to trolley Ticker-timer with power supply unit Ticker-tape Sellotape Process: 1.Thread a length of ticker-tape through a ticker-timer and attach the end to a trolley. 2.Pull a trolley with a fixed

physics honors Acceleration due to gravity by picket fence method Varun Kumar Pd 7 Saumya Kapoor & Tonia Li 9/26/2014 INTRODUCTION Acceleration is the increase or decrease in velocity. It can also be described as the rate of change in velocity. Acceleration is represented by the formula: . In this experiment we look at a specific type of acceleration‚ Free-Fall. Any object that is being acted upon only by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. There are two important

The very first person who invented the first rocket was Robert Hutchings Goddard. He invented the first liquid-fuel rocket in March 16‚ 1926. Multiple cultures used rockets before such as a man named Archytas from Greek amazed people by flying a bird made from wood. Then 300 years later‚ another Greek Hero of Alexandria invented a similar rocket device. The earliest rockets were used in 1232. At that time‚ the Chinese and Mongols were at war with each other. The Chinese attacked the Mongols by the

a Pop Bottle Rocket? A pop bottle rocket uses a 2L pop bottle‚ which then‚ you fill up the 2L pop bottle with water‚ and then with air‚ air pressure is created‚ and when you launch it Newton’s law happens. A lot of people put designs on their rockets‚ such as mine I did not leave it plain‚ I added cardboard‚ fins‚ color‚ nose etc. To make the rocket fly high and far away‚ you have to understand on how to make your rocket aerodynamic. Below this is an example on how a water rocket can be launched

After much hard work they finally build a rocket that launches into the air. The story keeps progressing and their rockets keep flying higher‚ as they get new ideas on how to build their rockets more effectively. One major person in helping them to develop their rockets is Miss Riley‚ their chemistry teacher

Abstract In this experiment Newton’s Second Law of Motion was measured with the use of the gravitational acceleration g on Earth by applying a free fall process. Objective The objective of this experiment is to validate Newton’s Second Law of motion. In experimenting the Law the measurement of acceleration of gravity was used by measuring the distance a dropped ball travels for a specific amount of time. Procedure First‚ measurements were taken of the distance from the stairway
