Today, my partner and I began assembling our rocket. We fabricated our launch pad which will have our PVC pipe attached to it. We have put together two different sections of PVC. We connected all of our PVC with PVC cement which will hold all of our piping together. We also used epoxy to keep our O-ring together with out PVC pipe.
We tested average velocity using the formula Displacement over Change in Time. We observant of the relationship between the angle of the launch and the average velocity. Our conclusion was the lower the launch angle the higher the average velocity.
On this day, we tested several different launch angles. We tried to see which angle would make the rockets go further and which ones would make the rocket not fly so well. We came up with a hypothesis that the lower the angle, the further the rocket would go.
Today we edited our websites. I changed up everything that we thought wasn't relevant. I edited my engineering process and discussed idea with the other members in my group.
