The Spin Has Changed The Outcome Of My Rocket

Before you go into building a rocket for hang time the researcher advises to build a stable rocket first. “One important factor in designing a stable rocket is considering the stability of the bottles used. Different bottles have different natural stabilities. Bottles with a short center-section and a long neck have a naturally high center of gravity. High, that is, if it is used as a rocket; low if the bottle is sitting on a shelf. Newer bottles are designed this way, because they are less likely to tip over. When we flip the bottle upside-down, to be used as a rocket, this shape works to our benefit, because the center of gravity is already high in the rocket, resulting in smaller fins and less weight that has to be added to make a stable rocket.” (Singleton IV, 2001)

My design used a pressure of 600000, coefficient drag of 0.05, a temperature of 4 degrees celsius, 2 liter size bottle, it was filled 70% with water, a nozzle diameter of 0.02 meters, a ballast weight of 0.03, and had the cone of the bottle rocket on. I picked the variable of the cone on/off, percentage filled with water, and size of bottle as my three most critical variables. I picked them because during the runs where I was testing these variables, the altitude and velocity had significant changes every time. There were some variables such as ballast weight and temperature at launch that didn’t have as drastic changes with each run so they were not as important. One thing that noticed is that the velocity was consistently higher than the altitude so when testing it, I was more focused on raising the altitude. When I was focused on the altitude, I never noticed a significant drop in velocity so I don’t think there were any trade offs with the results from this

The second artwork I chose to evaluate is Romare Bearden's Rocket to the Moon. This collage uses black and white as well as color. Bearden used warm colors throughout the collage and unified everything very nicely. Throughout this artwork a square pattern is visible making everything well balanced. You can see the pattern on the windows, bricks on the walls, and the actual buildings themselves. There is some implied motion also visible in the small rocket at the very top of this collage. It is as if the rocket is taking off to the moon on the upper right hand side. The moon implies that this scene possibly takes place at night but, it seems to be a very well lit day. A lot seems to be going on in this scene but, the focal point are the people

Space exploration, in its beginnings, were considered one of the humanity 's greatest achievements and throughout time the commonly considered by the public to be an incredible achievement for science. Although as the years have passed the idea of space exploration have soured, and the space program is being criticized for its millions of dollars being invested into the space program other than using it to explore our own oceans. while others feel that the effort put into the space exploration have helped economically and scientific breakthroughs, There is a split divide in opinion of the space program since some may before it while others are against it. The main actors of this controversy would, on one side, are a community of people who have decided that supporting space exploration can be incredibly beneficial to our development in science. While those that oppose to funding millions of dollar to travel into the unknown will state that we should attempt to understand our planet before attempting to learn about others. They are referring to that to our scientist our oceans still carry deep seeded mysteries that seems to go unfunded. Communication strategies that help promote contact zones would be when engaging in an opinionated article, or study that reject what they believe to be true. During these confrontations, the two communities would discuss facts in order to persuade others to agree with their conclusions or beliefs.

My next run in with science could have been better. The school put on a Science Fair, where all the students did their projects and experiments outside of school, but it was still run by the school. My partner and I wanted to do the project completely on our own. We refused help from everyone and anyone, but we had no ideas and we wanted it to be original. We waited for inspiration until we could not wait any more. We were walking home

Humans have dreamed of leaving the earth and traveling space for many years, and up to this day they have taken many steps in the right direction. Yet, with every new frontier they approach, new problems loom over the horizon. Some of these problems arise right here on Earth. Some of the issues have been resolved, such as escaping the forces of gravity to reach outer space. Most of the problems are far more arduous and the solutions need more time to be worked out properly. In “The Coming Schism” by James E. and Alcestis R. Oberg, they posit that humans can colonize space. Humans need to buckle up and build the technology which will help to solve problems that would arise to

There has been a debatable question since trampoline parks have opened. This question is why should you go to Sky High instead of just buying your own trampoline. Well in this post we are going to give you a few reasons.

I have recently read the two texts “A Success in Space”, and “Americas New Spacecraft”. They both talk about space and spacecraft. Although, one text has more successful points and strategies than the other. In the excerpt “A Success in Space “it talks about how a small probe helped scientists take a huge leap forward in space exploration , on the other hand the other excerpt “ Americas New Spacecraft” talks about a spacecraft launching into the air to discover critical data for future mission crews.

I chose to watch the infomercial to the Ab Rocket because everyone believe there is a hidden secret to achieving the infamous six or eight pack abdominal muscles yet the infomercial attempted to disprove that claim with the use of this piece of exercise equipment.

The Space Race started in the middle of the 1950’s, and it was a technological race between Russia and the United States to get into space and land on the moon. Russia was the first to successfully launch a satellite and launch a human into space, but the United States was the first to successfully land a man on the moon. It impacted education because it made more people want to become engineers, so the education system had to add more courses about math and science. The space race was good for the economy because it created jobs in all sorts of fields including science and technology. Many people were focused on how we would respond to Russia because we are the world super power. The impact of the Space Race was the race to get into space

The U.S. Space Program funding has been cut drastically, and their mission to mars has slowed dramatically. The Space Program is needed in the community, and in the world because it helps reunite each other. Like the mission to the moon took the people 's minds off of the buildup of nuclear weapons (Cold War). The program getting cut would be a major let down for the American people, because a major thing that had united the country during a scary time during not only America 's history, and the history of the World . Another thing is that the only real issue with keeping the U.S. Space Program would be that it costs billions of dollars just to keep it running. It would

It made me feel good about myself and showed me that even though I may not feel that I am not performing well, like the mentor role; my peers feel that I am. I tend to be hard on myself and meet or exceed what others may expect of me. This was truly the first time I realized how effective I am in a team environment. I honestly have shied away from group related tasks in the past, it has only been in recent years that I reached out to others and felt we could accomplish so much more as a group. The degree of how well we were doing was only measured by the completion of a task, but this has shown me an in depth view of the dynamic nature of group

Kamryn and I shot our rocket three times the first time we shot our rocket, and it went the highest. The second time we shot our rocket, it went a little bit high but it did not go as high as it did the first time. The last time we shot our rocket, we took our fins off and it shot horribly. The first time the fins were on good, the second

In the year 2048 a segment of the United States population (about four million people) attempted to overthrow the government through acts of terrorism. The US government was able to stop the threat, but now they have four million people to deal with. In response a decision was made to send these people to Mars to start a colony. To do this advancements were made in nuclear power to propel the shuttles to Mars, and also technology was developed to allow for humans to survive on Mars for an indefinite amount of time.

The first UBC Rocket meeting had me in a team of 6 strangers with parts of a model rocket in front of us. We had 4 hours and no instructions to build this model rocket and launch it at a near-by beach. This task really tested our ability to work under the pressure of a tie constraint, think on our feet, apply technical knowledge
