Unit 4 Projectile Motion
On friday we furthered our learning about projectiles. We did a rocket launch lab using four different caps to make the rockets go different heights. There was low, medium, high, and super. We did three trials for each cap and then we averaged all the times. Then Mr. Blake gave us an angle and we needed to use to trig to figure out what numbers to use to plug into the formulas. We used the data from the super cap because it was the most consistent. After plugging in numbers we found and estimated distance of about 61 meters. In actuality our rocket only shot around 48 meters. I think our rocket wasn't launched as far as it could of because of the wind and also our rocket was slightly broken. I found this lab to be one of the most fun things we have done so far this summer in physics.

Good post Justin, your rocket went around the same distance as ours, but I think you guys were more accurate.
ReplyDeleteNice summary of our lab yesterday, and good use of information. Good luck on today's test.
