Wind is caused due to air moving from a high pressure system to a low pressure…
The need to slow an aircraft below VA is brought about by the following weather phenomenon:…
For the baseline launches, the distance average was 7.465m and .91 seconds and for the height the average was 2.46m The average velocity was 8.213m/sec. The weight for the rocket was .92. The design of the fins likely led to the results.…
And the third law of motion is, for every action there is always an opposite and equal reaction. So then when you have your rocket on the launch pad and all ready then its determining on the motion of the rocket being equal to and opposite from the nozzle. Like if the rocket goes one way and the water goes the other way. You want it to be centered and balanced. Figuring on how many times you have tested it will and can improve on your final launches. And then you will have a bigger idea on how the water being forced down is going to equal the force when the bottle goes…
-absorbed sunlight at ground changes to sensible heat (warms the air) -> temperature increases. and latent heat (evaporates water from lakes, etc) -> humidity increases. 2 heat sources forms fuel storms.…
9. The angle of the launch, the total time that the rocket was in the air and the distance it traveled was recorded.…
The group which was most successful in height achieved was also the heaviest of the bottle rocket designs, which means that had more weight to the rocket, the winds’ normals forces would have had a lesser effect on and not pushed it off course and made it unstable as much. The added weight also gave their rocket more momentum, because of the increased weight, which helped there rocket travel further up into the air. The fins we made for our rocket were are of our own design rather than following a template and weren’t perfectly symmetrical on the body of the rocket. If we had added more weight and attached the fins better, the rocket would go higher due to the increased momentum from the increased weight and the increased stability due to the air passing over the fins symmetrically. Also if we had used increased pressure, the rocket would have gone higher due to the greater force at which the water and the air would have escaped with. The increased force would have pushed the rocket harder, increasing flight time, height, and…

There are several aspects involved in the dynamics of airplane and how they become airborne. This report will address the main physics involved and mathematic formulae that prove how airplanes get above the ground from a small fighter jet to a massive Boeing 747. The necessities involved in keeping there massive weights in the air and the extreme forces needed to land these airplanes and bring them to a halt will also be explored.…
In No Promises in the Wind, Josh runs away from home because of his dad. He goes through many obstacles. He fails sometimes and succeeds sometimes but at the end of his journey he realizes he is just like his dad. He then decides to go back to Chicago and meet up with his family again.…
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 arrows of flying fire; that was a simple form of a rocket. Rockets have changed over time because the very first rocket was made by China and all it was, was bamboo tubes were imperfectly sealed tightly instead of exploding with explosion all it did…
One of the requirements for this course is an Aircraft Performance Research Project that entails planning a flight from Denver International Airport (KDEN) to Chicago O'Hare International Airport (KORD) for a given aircraft, weather conditions, and assumptions. The objective is to apply what has been learned throughout this course. Drawing on aeronautics theory and using the performance charts and equations presented in the course, each student is to answer a sequence of questions that step through the planning process. Remember, as with all of the exercises, all work (calculations) must be shown as much as possible. After all of the questions have been answered, the next task is to create a two-dimensional representation of the flight path showing the airspeeds, distance, fuel burned, and fuel remaining for the Takeoff, Climb, Cruise, Descent, and Approach phases of the flight.…
I would think the turbulence level for Dr. Connelly and Mrs. Wong to be severe. They know come the following day there would be talk about how the school district had turned away students from entering or staying in the building due to a lack of immunizations. Though the elementary only had 11 of the 30 students that originally were missing immunizations, the fact that students wouldn’t be able to stay in school may cause a crisis with the school and students families. I would believe to positionality that Dr. Connelly would feel more turbulence since they are the school principle in comparison to the school nurse. Dr. Connelly feel responsible due to students still missing their immunizations, but also feel the parents of the 11 students…
I remember the day that I started rocketsledding I was 18 years old my dad brought me to a hill near our house. The hill was small, but I was scared. At first I went down the hill on a normal sled a couple of times, so my dad could teach me on a normal sled how to control a rocket sled. Then, my dad, former rocketsledding champion let me try his rocketsled. At first I was scared, then my dad showed me a few instructions on how to stop, and steer. The hill was about 10 meters long with 50 meters of run off space. After my first attempted I loved rocketsledding, so from that day forward my dad signed me up for lessons. By the time I was 25, I won 2 world championships.…
