1. Reduce the total mass (make it weigh less)
2. Improve stability- the greater the stability the straighter the rocket's flight the higher it will go, an unstable rocket will spin about erratically which greatly reduces the peak altitude (height)
3. Don't launch when it's cold and windy- both of these affect the rocket's altitude
4. Reduce the Cd (coefficient of drag)- this is rather complicated, you usually worry about this when you are designing a rocket, not after it's built. However, painting your rocket will help.
5. Get a bigger/more powerful motor!- the motor probably affects a rockets altitude more than anything else.
What else can I help you with?
What effect does pressure have on a bottle rocket?
it pushes the rocket into the air to make it go higher.
What is Bottle rocket?
A bottle rocket is a type of firework that is propelled into the air by a combination of water and air pressure. It typically involves filling a plastic bottle with water and attaching a paper tube filled with gunpowder that is ignited, causing the bottle to shoot into the sky.
How to make a soda bottle rocket?
To make a soda bottle rocket, you will need a 2-liter soda bottle, a cork, a bike pump, water, and a launch pad. Fill one-third of the bottle with water, attach a cork to the opening, and place the rocket on the launch pad. Pump air into the bottle using the bike pump, quickly remove the cork, and watch it soar!
How do you make the bottle rocket stay in the air as long as possible?
add more mentos!
What things do you need to make a water rocket?
Water, an empty plastic bottle and an air pump.
What makes a bottle rocket fly?
A bottle rocket flies due to the rapid release of pressurized air from inside the bottle. When water and air pressure build up inside the bottle and are released through the nozzle, the resulting thrust propels the bottle rocket into the air.
What are the variables and constants in a bottle rocket?
The angle of the rocket. The amount of water in the rocket.
What do you put inside a bottle rocket to make it fly?
Baking soda and vinegar are commonly used in bottle rockets to create a chemical reaction that produces gas, propelling the rocket into the air.
What is the potential energy in a bottle rocket?
The potential energy in a bottle rocket comes from the compressed air and water inside the bottle before it is launched. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the rocket is propelled into the air when the cork is released and the pressure is released.
How much air do you put in a bottle rocket?
Approximately 100-150 psi of compressed air is typically used to launch a bottle rocket effectively. It is important to follow safety guidelines and instructions provided with the bottle rocket kit to ensure a successful launch.
How do you make a Water Rocket?
you put some water in the bottom of your rocket/bottle and get a bicycle pump keep pumping air in to the rocket sets off and make sure you watch your face they can be highly dangerous! hope this helps
How do bottle rockets fly?
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.
