Conclusion:
In agreement with my hypothesis, my rocket went the highest when it length was the longest. It was difficult to keep the other variables constant while changing the length. It was also a challenge to attach the extensions totally straight so that the stability I was aiming for wasn’t lost by a lopsided rocket. By testing, I was able to completely fix my initial problem of instability and triple my height. For future students, I suggest doing research beforehand to get a good idea of your final product. I also suggest testing a variable that is easy to record and will significantly impact your rocket. |
