1.
Background Information
In this project, teams of 3 students will design a modify a stage model rocket using an open source
software application called OpenRocket. All teams will be given a target apogee altitude, and the team will
perform an iterative design process using OpenRocket to modify their single stage rocket kit to achieve the
target altitude as closely as possible. The single stage design will utilize idealized engine thrust profiles
that are available in the OpenRocket engine database.
Additionally, the rocket design must be able to
accommodate a payload which consists of the PerfectFlite Pnut altimeter. A final report will also be
required for the activity.
2.
Rocket Design
The goal of this phase is to modify the existing design (i.e Estes, Apogee, etc.) of a single stage model
rocket that, when “flown” via a trajectory simulation, reaches a specified target apogee altitude and
accommodates the Pnut altimeter payload. The target apogee for the rocket is 125 ft. The OpenRocket
program allows the design and trajectory simulation of model rockets through a user-friendly interface.
First, download the OpenRocket program from the website: http://openrocket.sourceforge.net/.
Open the program on your computer and verify that it opens properly. You will need to have the JAVA
runtime environment installed as well. The website also contains documentation and a Wiki page that will
be useful to you.
To familiarize yourself with OpenRocket, each student should model your rocket individually. Simulate its
flight with various engines and plot results. Play around with adjusting the design to see if you can get
your altitude target and take screenshots to be uploaded to canvas as part of your class participation
grade. The User’s Guide is accessible through the Wiki page has a “Basic Rocket Design” set of instructions
that walks you through an example: http://wiki.openrocket.info/Basic_Rocket_Design
. We will work on this in
class. Once you have familiarized yourself with the software, you can begin to design your own rocket, which will
be a modification of the off-the-shelf kit you have been provided. This will be done as a team. Your rocket
design should have a nosecone, body tube, fins, launch lug (this is the tube that the launch rod passes
through), payload bay (described below), shock cord & recovery system (a parachute or a streamer), an
inner tube (to house the engine), an engine block, and centering rings (to center the inner tube). Each
team will be restricted to 1/2A size engines. 1/2A3-4T and 1/2A6-2 engines will be provided on the day of
flight, however if teams wish to use a different 1/2A engine they will have to purchase their own. Note
that the 1/2A3T and the 1/2A6 have different diameters. You need to check the diameter of your
engine and make sure you have an appropriately sized engine mount at the end of your rocket. This
means that you may have to make a modification if you choose to use an engine with a diameter that
does not match the diameter of your body tube. Note that you will have to modify the kit you were given to complete this activity successfully
. In
addition to making design choices about fin shape and configuration (your kits has lots of choices!), you
will need to make modifications to include the addition of a payload bay for the altimeter. You may need
to make further modifications to ensure for stability and to reach your target altitude and to make sure
your engine mounts properly into the rocket. Use OpenRocket to try out your idea for modifications
before implementing them on your rocket. The payload for your rocket flight is the PerfectFlite Pnut altimeter (Fig. 1). The altimeter dimensions are
63.5 mm x 15 mm x 11.4 mm, and the mass is 7.3 g. The altimeter measures static pressure, and records
altitude as a function of time. The altimeter must be mounted in a payload bay attached to the rocket
tube
, and it should be returned to Earth via the recovery system. The payload bay should serve to protect
the rocket from the heat of the engines. It must be a separate container attached to the nosecone, and it
must be above the tube where the recovery system is stored (Fig. 2). Furthermore, the payload bay
should include two small holes per the specifications in the Pnut altimeter instructions
that can be found
on the company’s website. Figure 1. PerfectFlite Pnut altimeter.
Figure 2. Example rocket architecture with payload bay
Once the rocket is design has been modified, you can then use OpenRocket to simulate the launch
trajectory. For this project, we will assume zero wind velocity. Once the data is collected, teams will
compare their simulated trajectory to the data collected by the altimeter and show in the final report.
The end result of the project will be a flight test contest where the rocket that flies the closest to the target
altitude without going over. In addition, the rocket should land in a single piece and be in sufficient
condition to be reused in a second flight, meaning that damage needs to be minimized during take-off,
flight, and landing. Grading for the overall activity will be based on the following items.
a.
Quality of the team’s thinking with regard to modification decisions.
b.
Quality of the team’s research and information gathering.
c.
Quality of the team’s rocket construction
d.
Performance of the vehicle during the flight test experiment.
Items a, b, and c above will be most heavily weighted. It is strongly recommended that you read the requirements of the report prior to designing and
constructing your vehicle so that you know what you need to keep note of during your design process. This activity should be a lot of fun. Go for it.
3.
Final Report
The final report should be written using the AIAA format and any references should also be cited using the
AIAA format. Final reports should capture the design modification process, specify the final design and
rocket kit selection process. The report should compare the trajectory of the rocket using the data
collected during the flight with the simulations using the ideal engine thrust profiles. In the modification
specification, you should provide enough detail to allow a reviewer to replicate your results in
OpenRocket.
Reports should be submitted electronically on Canvas as a pdf document.
4.
Maker Space Usage
The Maker Space is open and may be used for this project. However, the situation around COVID-19 has caused for the space to have revised operating guidelines, and these must be respected in order to work there. Each team that wishes to use the Maker Space time for your rocket assembly will need to reserve a time slot ASAP for your assembly. Please consider that there are 50+ teams that need to get in, and plan to use your maker space time only for your actual building activities. You should also reserve your time early, and then work to make sure that you are ready by your chosen time. Do not wait until the last minute to reserve time, or you may find there are no slots available! If you need to 3D print parts, you will want to submit your jobs via the Maker Space website as early as possible, as jobs are printed on a first-
come, first-serve basis by Maker Space mentors. Maker space mentors are a great resource as they have assisted many 1601 classes with this activity and can be contacted via the website for questions and advice
outside of your scheduled time. You are expected to follow all safety protocols (both COVID-19 and lab safety) in the Maker Space. Failure to do so will result in your privileges to use the space being revoked. 5.
Team Formation
Your team may include a remote student in addition to your on-campus students. Although each team
member should be involved in all steps of the process as much as possible, remote students should plan to
play a larger role in the modeling and analysis aspects of the project while on-campus students should plan
to play a larger role in the assembly of the rocket. It will be up to each team to determine how to best
include their remote members on launch day. You may either do a video call from the Burger Bowl or
record a video for later viewing.

Mountaineers often use a rope to lower themselves
down the face of a cliff (this is called rappelling). They
do this with their body nearly horizontal and their feet
pushing against the cliff (Eigure 1). Suppose that an
78.6-kg climber, who is 1.88 m tall and has a center of
gravity 1.0 m from his feet, rappels down a vertical cliff
with his body raised 40.4° above the horizontal. He
holds the rope 1.54 m from his feet, and it makes a
20.7° angle with the cliff face.

Tires are one of the most frequently encountered applications of the gas laws that we never think about. We fill our tires with air, or with nitrogen, but it always works out the same way. Enough gas goes in, the tire inflates, and then the pressure starts going up. In this assignment, we’ll be investigating the ways that the gas laws impact how we treat our tires.
Q1. I have good information that in Fast 29, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) will need to refill a tire quickly during a dramatic moment. For this reason, he has a 3.00 L tank of compressed air that is under 2.7892*103 mmHg and is kept cool in dry ice at -35.0 °C.
When Dom hooks his compressed air up to his completely empty 10.50 L tire at 39.2 °C and lets it run, what will his final tire pressure be, in atm? Assume all the air is transferred into the tire. Is his tire pressure above the 2.31 atm that he needs to save the planet/his family/his crew?
