How can you measure how high a bottle rocket goes?
if you tape 3 or 4 rulers together
What is the difference between model rockets and real rockets?
In a real rocket, there is short a time in atmosphere and the aerodynamics are less important. In a model rocket, all flight in the atmosphere and the aerodynamics are very important. In a real rocket, it has a liquid or solid rocket engine and a large propellant mass fraction. In a model rocket, it has a solid rocket engine and a small propellant mass fraction . In a real rocket, there are four forces during atmospheric flight. In a model rocket, there are four forces throughout flight. In a real rocket, there is a long powered flight . In a model rocket, it has a very short powered flight . In a real rocket, it has passive stability and active control . In a model rocket, it has passive stability and no control. In a real rocket, it has expensive materials such as aluminum, titanium, and nickel alloy. In a model rocket, it has inexpensive materials such as balsa, cardboard, and plastic. In a real model, there is a high speed and the heating is very important. In a model rocket there is low speed and the heating is not important.
Did the rocket nell fail?
No, it worked as designed. While it didn't fly very high it did take off and fly as far as the propellant would carry it. This was the first successful flight of a liquid-fueled rocket.
Does a rocket use lift?
A pure rocket uses only the reaction force generated by gases exiting the nozzle at high speed. If you meant lift in the sense of aerodynamic lift, it is not required for rocket flight, although some assemblies use it during the atmospheric portion of the flight to partially support and lift the assembly and for partial attitude control, and there are airplanes that use rockets for attitude control and propulsion at high altitudes. Once most of the atmosphere has been left behind, there is no usable aerodynamic force available. The most common use for rockets in manned flight is for rocket-assisted takeoff of powered aircraft. In those cases, the rocket thrust is used to aid acceleration and climb performance.
Does a smaller water rocket go higher than a bigger one?
yes because a heavy rocket will not go high yes because a heavy rocket will not go high
How high can a bottle rocket go?
No it can't go high
Do you need a high school diploma to become a rocket scientist?
yes because high school get you into collage which gives you the proper curriculum to be a rocket scientist!!
How high does a rocket go?
It launches a a rocket vertically upwards with an initial speed of 40.0 m/s.
When was First Flight High School created?
First Flight High School was created in 2004.
Is building a model rocket and measuring how high it goes a science fair project?
No, because you need to change something, and measure how high it goes to see how changing one thing can affect the height. For example, if you are using air to launch the rocket, you could change how much air pressure you use, and measure the difference. "How does air pressure affect height?" is a scientific question. Remember if you do this, you must keep everything else the same, or it won't be a fair experiment.
Does humidity affect a model rocket?
A strong low wind will very much affect it's angle of flight. We try to wait for breaks in the wind to launch. Wind is bad for parachutes too, a rocket that went high can float a mile or two on it's parachute.
Why is it bad to launch a model rocket into a cloud?
The reason is very clear in the laws codes and regulations that keep safty for other things in the sky and in your launch zone both in the sky and on the ground. If you cant see where it is going then you cannot say that it is safe and will not cause damage to those around you. Flying Conditions. I will launch my model rocket only when the wind is less than 20 miles per hour. I will not launch my model rocket so it flies into clouds, near aircraft in flight, or in a manner that is hazardous to people or property. I will launch my high power rocket only when the wind is no more than 20 miles per hour and under conditions where the rocket will not fly into clouds or when a flight might be hazardous to people, property, or flying aircraft. Prior to launch, I will verify that no aircraft appear to have flight paths over the launch site.
