Today my group and I were able to make our first water bottle rocket launch. We were able to have a relatively successful launch in my opinion. Our rocket took flight with no problems during the initial launch and it even ended up landing in the back of a pickup truck. I filled our water bottle with a little less than quarter of a bottle full because I felt that if I put less water than was recommended our rocket might fly higher because it would have less mass. For some reason, we were booted off of our launch station and were only able to make one attempt at launching our rocket.
Very good image. Gives and adds to the information given in your posting. Also very unique.
ReplyDeleteI really liked your idea to use less water than recommended; you're hypothesis is true because when you add more water to the bottle it defeats the purpose of trying to add water to the top of the rocket to increase the center of mass, which overall allows your rocket to go higher. Good job :)
