Airborne Identity
What I think it is
I think that we are going to be learning about gravity and air pressure. I am looking forward to doing more prototypes of my rocket and launching it in the sky. I also think that this project will be about Newton's Law.

What are 4 main forces on a rocket?
Lift, Weight, Drag, and Thrust Trust is used in resistance of weight lift is used to direct the flight Weight is the force created by the attraction to gravity Lift and drag are 2 components of a singular aerodynamic Forces are known as a vector quantity. What does this mean? Vector quantities have magnitude and direction How are the forces on rockets different than those on a airplane? On an airplane, most of the aerodynamic forces are generated by the wings and the tail surfaces. For a rocket, the aerodynamic forces are generated by the fins, nose cone, and body tube What is the center of pressure & why is it significant? The center of pressure is the point where the total sum of a pressure field acts on a body. What are fins and what is their purpose on a rocket? The fins are on the side of the rocket and they are there to stabilize the rocket when it is flying What is the purpose of the body? The purpose of the body is to hold it all together What is the nose cone and what is its purpose? The nose cone is the tip of the rocket and is there so the rocket can go faster What was the biggest problem you want to adress with the last launch? Add a nose cone to my next prototype What are some possible solutions? Adding a nose cone How will you implement them in your design? I will add the nose come to the design |
