Hmmm, I used to have a water bottle rocket when I was young, until a certain coisin of mine stomped on it. I hated him for that.
Anyway, to your question. A water rocket is slow enough that you could film it in flight and measure the distance traveled from frame to frame and thus thr distance travelled in one frame (1/30 of a second) and in one second (30 frames) or anything else convenient. with distance and time, you have velocity. By measuring the change in distance over equal times in different parts of the fild, you can determine acceleration.
Newton's third law
Bottle rockets require water to create steam pressure within the bottle. This pressure builds up when the water inside is heated by the ignited propellant, causing the bottle to launch upwards. The steam escaping through the nozzle propels the bottle rocket into the air.
When it comes to water bottles, there is downward momentum, which creates an upward momentum. The reason for this is the conservation of momentum. That's why the water bottle is driven upward. The downward momentum is created by the water mass times water's velocity.
The 'operator' fills the bottle with water, then pumps air into it - creating pressure. When the stopper is released, the air pressure forces the water out of the narrow opening in the bottle's neck - creating a stream powerful enough to launch the rocket into the air.
The 16.9 is probably ounces, if it were cups it would be a very big water bottle.
Space rockets are designed for space exploration, carry heavier payloads, use advanced propulsion systems, and require complex engineering for successful launches and reentries. Bottle rockets, on the other hand, are small-scale recreational devices typically made from a plastic bottle and launched using water and air pressure, for entertainment and educational purposes.
To determine the volume of the filled soda bottle, you could use the water displacement method. Fill a container with a known volume of water, then submerge the soda bottle filled with liquid in the container. Measure the volume of water that is displaced by the soda bottle, which will give you the volume of the liquid inside the bottle.
Pop bottle rockets work by creating a build-up of pressure inside the bottle through a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar. The reaction releases carbon dioxide gas, which builds pressure until it forces the bottle to shoot upwards like a rocket. The escaping gas propels the bottle in the opposite direction.
Water rockets use water and air modern rockets use thrust and oxygen.
Thy operate on the same principle. The water going backwards has momentum that is balanced by the rocket going forward.
A graduated cylinder or a beaker can be used to measure the volume or capacity of a water bottle by pouring water from the bottle into the measuring instrument and reading the volume indicated on the scale.
Baking soda and vinegar are commonly used in bottle rockets to create a chemical reaction that produces gas, propelling the rocket into the air.
