In the first experiment we had three different cap heights: low, medium, high, and super. Even though our data for medium was a little off we concluded that the cap height affects the time it takes to go up and come back down. The low should have had the lowest time, but medium did. Super had the greatest time.
Once we collected all of our data, we were given a launch angle of 40°. We needed to find our most consistent data which was high and calculate the distance for the angle of 40°. Trigonometry was used. Mr. Blake stood at our distance and was not going to move. Sadly, we were not close to hitting him. Errors that could have played a role in our experiment were calculation errors, wind, and the consistency of pumping.
Very nice HD photo! I love everything besides the person in it... haha. I like how you explain the experiment we did on friday.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest the picture is really what makes this blogpost what it is, also the actual blog is pretty good itself. good job using calculations and teaching me using words and not equations.
ReplyDeleteJantzen, your picture is awesome ! Great job summarizing what we did in class on friday. I like how you put a positive spin even though our rocket didn't go to the distance we though it would go.
