FIRST LAW OF MOTION
a body in a state of rest and a body in motion tend to remain
at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by some
outside force.
LAW OF MOTION

SECOND LAW OF MOTION
The rate of change in the momentum of a
body is proportional to the force acting upon
the body and is in the direction of that force.
The equation is: force=mass x acceleration
THIRD LAW OF MOTION
"For every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction."
CENTER OF GRAVITY
• The center of gravity is the point that the mass of
the rocket is perfectly balanced
•The balance point can be moved forward by
putting weight in the nose
• The center of pressure should always be behind
(closer to the tail) the center of gravity
AXIS
SWING TEST

The swing test makes sure the rocket is stable
to launch, it is done by attaching a 6-10ft string
at the center of gravity and swinging it in a
circle

If the model points its nose ahead once
started, it should be stable enough to launch.
