New Science Activities,,, Read, think, try.

Rocket Launch
Before you try.... read and think about .......

Mass

Mass is measured in kilograms. A rocket with more mass will not accelerate as quickly but will also not be as affected by drag.

Thrust

Thrust is the upwards force. The amount of thrust affects how much the rocket will speed up.

Time of thrust

If thrust acts for a longer time, the rocket will speed up more.

Drag

Drag is the opposing force of air resistance. There is more drag at faster speeds.

Mass change

As the rocket fuel reacts and is propelled from the rocket, the rocket becomes lighter
