A rocket is a machine that develops thrust by the rapid expulsion of matter. The major components of a chemical rocket assembly are a rocket motor or engine‚ propellant consisting of fuel and an oxidizer‚ a frame to hold the components‚ control systems and a cargo such as a satellite. A rocket differs from other engines in that it carries its fuel and oxidizer internally‚ therefore it will burn in the vacuum of space as well as within the Earth’s atmosphere. The cargo is commonly referred to as the

Group Name: XX INTRODUCTION A water rocket is a type of model rocket using water as its reaction mass. The pressure vessel—the engine of the rocket—is usually a used plastic soft drink bottle. The water is forced out by a pressurized gas‚ typically compressed air. The term "aquajet" has been used in parts of Europe in place of the more common "water rocket" and in some places they are also referred to as "bottle rockets" (which can be confusing as this term traditionally

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

1) A small rocket is being designed to make wind shear measurements in the vicinity of thunderstorms. Before testing begins‚ the designers are developing a simulation of the rocket’s trajectory. They have derived the following equation that they believe will predict the performance of the test rocket‚ where t is time elapsed in seconds. The equation gives the height above the ground level at time t. The first term (60) is the height above ground level of the nose of the rocket. height = 60 + 2

SHAMINMENISHA How Water Rockets Work A water rocket works using the same principles as other rockets. There are three main forces in action: thrust (Fapp)‚ drag (Ffr) and weight (w=mg). The water‚ which is forced out by the difference between internal and atmospheric pressure‚ is a reaction mass that provides the thrust. All rockets have a reaction mass‚ which can vary from hot gasses that are expelled when a fuel is burnt (in the Space Shuttle’s SRB’s for example) to water in a water rocket. The air molecules

was how high my bottle rocket went. Since the purpose of my experiment was to find out amount of water made an air-pumped bottle rocket go higher‚ I had to first learn how to build an air-pumped bottle rocket. After searching on the internet for about 5 minutes I learned how to build one. It took me few days to retrieve the materials that I needed and to find a pump for my rocket. Following the instructions I found online‚ I spent about 30 minutes building a bottle rocket with a cone and fins using

Baking Soda and Vinegar Rocket All the materials you will need are very simple house hold; scissors‚ balloon‚ vinegar‚ baking soda‚ rubber band‚ empty bottle‚ clear wrap‚ straight pin‚ marker‚ thin piece of wood‚ drinking straws‚ and duct tape. One of the first steps is to make the rocket fuel the key component in this rocket. I began with placing ¼ or 1/3 of vinegar in a normal size bottle‚ after that you will make the baking soda bomb. You take a piece of clear wrap and place a good amount of

------------------------------------------------- Rocket A rocket is a missile‚ spacecraft‚ aircraft or other vehicle which obtains thrust from a rocket engine. In all rockets‚ the exhaust is formed entirely from propellants carried within the rocket before use.[1] Rocket engines work by action and reaction. Rocket engines push rockets forwards simply by throwing their exhaust backwards extremely fast. Rockets for military and recreational uses date back to at least 13th century China.[2] Significant
