Picture of Bernoullis Principle
Explanation of Bernoullis Principle:
Bernoullis principle is when wind pushes down which makes the wing go up. That process is called downwash. The velocity of a fluid increases the power to release. Low pressure sucks up. It is same like weather. It is high pressure to low pressure.
Video of mine working:
My project only flew for a couple seconds at first but I made some adjustments and it went for a longer time after. I really liked doing this project and I hope we can do more things like this.
The angle of the pipe and the pressure and thrust shoot the rocket into the sky. With out the air it wouldn’t go anywhere. Im glad that I put it at that angle so it could fly well.
#3. When it was halfway up it was still going but the angle was making it go down. But it still kept on going because the angle that it was going on wasn’t going to make go on a straight down angle. If The angle was higher then it would not go as far and it would go straight down.
#4 The force is coming from the top as it is starting to go down. as this is happening the air has gassed out and gravity is starting to do its work so the air is now making it go down.
#5: There were a couple rockets that did better then others. Part of the reason why theirs went better then mine is that there wings were differently shaped and there tip was a lot more pointy. The way that their ships wings were placed made them go so well. The air pressure made the plane go so well.
Part three blog post
What have you learned about the history of rockets and space travel? Write a summary on the blog about something or someone you found interesting and tell why: The first rocket type mechanism built was a model pigeon. It was the first one to use rocket propulsion. Newtons third law changed everything. He explained how rockets work. Rockets were used in the war of 1812. Robert goddard convinced everyone that rockets would work better if they used a propeller. The russians were the first the moon and the first american on the moon was Alan Sheppard.
Now that you know about the basic parts of a rocket and what they do, write about each part and its importance in your own words. What will be different on your water rocket than on a “real” rocket and why?
The cone is the most important part of the rocket because it is the reason it goes so fast and punches through the atmosphere. It will not be as large as a real rocket but it will be one of the main parts of the rocket. The payload carries most of the things. The payload will be carrying an egg for us. The propulsion is the part thats blasts it off. Without it rockets would never work. the fins help it work well and make it go as smooth as possible.
Write a little on the blog about how to find the Center of Pressure and the Center of Gravity on your rocket and why they are important.
Get a piece of cardboard and balance it and when it perfectly balances then you found the middle. This happens so during the flight it is stable and performs well.
Based on what you have learned about rocket design (nose cone & fins) describe what your rocket will look like and why you chose that design on the blog.
Part Three of the blog
The height of my rocket went lower then I thought that it would go because it flew before it was supposed to go. I think that If it went when it was supposed to go It would have gone really high. Im disappointed it not go that high.
2 I think that it going before it was suppose to go affected it a lot. one again if that never happened the height would have been much higher
3 My rocket did launch straight up but it drifted a tad bit before tipping over. I think this might have happened because of more being on one of the sides.
4 I personally would have preferred to do it in groups because when you have other peoples opinions it makes yours better and you will have a high chance to do well
5 I adjusted my rocket a couple times for the best performance and it worked out for the best. Im glad I did that so it performed well.
6 If we were in a weightless place then it would go up and never come down. I wish I could see that because it would be so cool.
7 Well the biggest safety priority is to make sure no one gets hurt thats why all rockets are launched far away from humans so nothing and no one get hurt. Safety is #1 priority.
8 When engineers make a cargo load for humans they make it so they can move and that they can live in there. They make the cargo bigger so you can fit more in there.
9 I think that there is a good chance that they will build homes in the rockets soon. it is possible to do it they just have to give it a shot.
10 I think that the heavier the load the more power you need to have so if you have a lot of weight then you need a lot of force.
Overall this project was interesting and I learned a lot from it. I truly had a lot of fun.
