Rocket Project by Anastasia Campe https://padlet.com/02acampe/ueoflew9fk6s By Ana Campe and Sophie Brust en-us 2016-10-26 14:27:25 UTC 2023-05-07 02:32:00 UTC hello@padlet.com Redesign Sketchs 02sbrust https://padlet.com/02acampe/ueoflew9fk6s/wish/133344024 Our first launch was a fail.When we looked back at the Rocket to see how we could fix it and try again we thought of a couple ideas including : Centering the nose cone better 
 Using a different adhesive(when the hot glue dried it did not keep the fins on)
As well as not putting as much repellent into the rocket in our case water.  

*See sketches above

As well as the fins are in a different spot making the rocket go straighter because the fins are not at an angle. ]]> 2016-10-28 02:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/02acampe/ueoflew9fk6s/wish/133801739 Sketch #1 02sbrust https://padlet.com/02acampe/ueoflew9fk6s/wish/133801805 This was a option for when we redesigned our rocket because our first design did not have a equally distributed amount of fins.We fixed this problem by having four fins instead of an uneven number.

Angle :20 degrees 
Height: 18 feet 

2nd trial- 

Angle:40 degrees
Height:41 feet  

3rd trial- 

Angle: 50 degrees 
Height: 60 feet 
 
Explanation: 
Our first time launching we put way to much repellent in the rocket so we ran out of water to shoot the rocket up high enough because as soon as we launched it, all the water did not distribute it just poured out of the bottle like no air was inside. Also the rocket came off of the launcher to early which caused the rocket to not go very high. 

Out second launch and third launch we put less repellent in the rocket, making us learn from our mistake more compressed air was inside making the rocket go up farther than we expected.
We also used Trigonometry, to get the height. We multiplied the Tangent by the adjacent to get the opposite  in other words, we multiplied the distance we were from the rocket,and the angle the rocket went up at to get the height the rocket went up. 

Theta- angle between a- c
