The final launch and video for the day! In this launch, we added a paper ball (crumpled pieces of paper) into the nose cone. In doing this, we had hoped that the ball would create a drag on the rocket, somewhat equal to the mass of the water, in order to slow down the rocket's flight.
I wish I could watch the video, but as of right now it's blocked, but i'm sure it's awesome :)
ReplyDeleteHowever, I liked your idea of crumpling the pieces of paper and putting it into the nose cone in order to get more mass for drag. I also thought that was really smart of you guys to try and equal out the mass of the water. I would've never thought of that! It sounds like you guys are on a really good track and I hope you guys get that 10 seconds :)
