Impulse: 8.5946 N/sec Height for a 200 gram rocket: It blew up so there was no height (problem set #10)
Thrust Curve for a 200 gram rocket:
Final Rocket Core= 3/4 Nozzle= 7/32 Fuel = Black Powder Mass = 205 grams (including engine)
Final Engine Casing
Streamer Attached to Nose Cone
Data taken from Grace and Mahli with a mass of 0.16839 kg(same core and nozzle size) - Impulse: 12.92 Burn Time: 3.3 sec Estimated Height: 114.5869117 m
How high was your final rocket projected to go based on the engine design and the mass of your rocket? 70.113497 meters How high did it go? 250 feet (76.2)
Why might there have been a difference between the two? It might have been because the weight wasn't exact and we didn't know the exact size of the rocket and the rocket actually went higher than what we expected.
What did you learn about rockets and rocket science that you didn't know before? I learned how to calculate the prediction of what the thrust curve might look like, what goes into making a rocket body, and what you need in order to have a rocket that flies well. I didn't know much about rockets but now that I learned more about what goes into making them, I now that it takes hard work and patience.
