PuffNStuff Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I just signed up for a rocketry contest sponsored by NASA! WOO! This will be fun! We have to get a rocket and get it to go 750ft in the air. No more no less, and keep it aloft for 45 secons, once again no more no less. All this while trying to keep 2 eggs from shattering!

Mr. Krystal Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 10 bucks says Puff secretly breaks the eggs of the other participants before launch. Any takers? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four-eyed Vulpine Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I believe there's an equation I learned in physics class that determine what the mass of the rocket should be, its initial velocity at takeoff, and the angle of takeoff by plugging in the other required components of time of flight and maximum height. If only I remembered the equation now. :ok: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
