I can find similarities of model rockets and NASA rockets
As we can see, an actual rocket
construction is similar to our model
rockets. The two rockets have
similar ways of launching too. Nasa
rockets launch off by counting down
and then the rocket’s engine ignites
and the force, pushes it up and in the
air on a similar launching pad as we
are using.Newton’s laws also apply
to the rocket, when the rocket goes
up, the fire is going down, pushing it
to let it fly. Similar to the models.
MODEL ROCKETS
and some actual rockets
Model rockets also use Newton’s laws of motion, usually they use the third law
mostly because, like actual rockets, when the fire ignites , it pushes the rocket up
and it flies. That happens because in Newton’s third law says “for every action
there is an equal and opposite re-action” so if the rocket fire was pushing down
then it would fly up, the opposite if it were on the top of the rocket.
The way a model rocket is constructed is similar to a NASA rocket
both rockets have motors that push it up with force and both rockets are fast and
have to be constructed with caution because with the paper rockets, if they don’t
work they plummet to the ground and possibly hurt someone in a regular rocket if
a part fell off then, the person is in danger and their life is almost over.
Comparison between construction
This is an actual rocket’s
lay-out the rocket looks
almost exactly like the
model but, the model is
made out of paper and
this is metal and all the fuel
and actual items a rocket
would have, our models
are similar, they might not
be top model or best
construction but its very very
close to NASA.
I can show how Newton’s laws are included in the rockets .
Newton’s first law. when launched the rocket stays in motion even while in space so the rockets are
either in constant motion or at rest (landing). along with the models.If a rocket is at rest then the rocket is
balanced when a force is applied then its unbalanced. A rocket in flight fluctuates in between balanced
and unbalanced force. The surface of the launch pad is balance. The fire pushes off the pad and the
rocket goes up while gravity tries to pull it down.when the models are on the launch pad they’re at 0
velocity (rest) when the ignition happens then they are in motion. like real life NASA rockets.
So the rockets the Newton’s second law because you have to evenly disperse the weight of the rockets,
one flaw could cost a life or just a dent in the ground either way it’s better to make sure it’s even. A NASA
rockets weight is 165,00 pounds when it’s empty the empty external tank is 78,100 pounds the rocket
boosters are 185,000 pounds they also have 143,000 gallons of liquid oxygen and 383,000 liquid
hydrogen in combined weight 8,231,100 pounds. our rocket is only a couple of grams. With NASA they are
careful with any weight because they have force applied to which launches them.
I can show how the laws are included
Newton’s third law is the most important law to the rockets. Without the laws both
rockets would fail to launch. As we know when NASA rockets launch they
obviously go to space which has zero gravity different than ours. We launched our
models and gravity (opposite reaction) brought it back down to us Newton’s third
law perfectly demonstrates that.
