(1) One thing that was in common with most of our rockets was that if they actually went up they went up really quickly it took them about less than 2 second to get up to about 200ft.
(2) If the rockets didn't work it was really just the person who put it together's fault.

Day 7
(1) It will take about 80 million pounds to lift 400,000 pounds of payload.
(2)
Materials. I will use only lightweight, non-metal parts for the nose, body, and fins of my rocket.
Motors. I will use only certified, commercially-made model rocket motors, and will not tamper with these motors or use them for any purposes except those recommended by the manufacturer.
Ignition System. I will launch my rockets with an electrical launch system and electrical motor igniters.
Launch Safety. I will use a countdown before launch, and will ensure that everyone is paying attention and is a safe distance of at least 15 feet away when I launch rockets with D motors or smaller, and 30 feet when I launch larger rockets.
Misfires. If my rocket does not launch when I press the button of my electrical launch system, I will remove the launcher's safety interlock or disconnect its battery, before allowing anyone to approach the rocket.
Launcher. I will launch my rocket from a launch rod, tower, or rail to ensure that the rocket flies nearly straight up, and I will use a blast deflector to prevent the motor's exhaust from hitting the ground. and will cap the end of the rod when it is not in use.
Size. If my model rocket weighs more than 1 pound at liftoff or has more power than a single g motor I will check and comply with Federal Aviation Administration regulations before flying.
Flight Safety. I will not launch my rocket at targets or near airplanes, and will not put any flammable or explosive payload in my rocket.
Launch Site. I will launch my rocket outdoors, in an open area and in safe weather conditions . I will ensure that there is no dry grass close to the launch pad.
Recovery System. I will use a recovery system such as a streamer or parachute in my rocket so that it returns safely and undamaged and can be flown again, and I will use only flame-resistant or fireproof recovery system wadding in my rocket.
Recovery Safety. I will not attempt to recover my rocket from power lines, tall trees, or other dangerous places.

Day 6
(1) True north is the direction of the earths north pole while magnetic north is the direction of earths magnetic pole.
(2) The attitude gyro is for the piolet to know if he/she is level to the ground.
(3) An air foil is somthing that is shaped to cut through air.

Day 5
The last week of school was very different since intersession but i learned many things while having so much fun. Some things that i have learned is the three ways of flight which are Bernoulli, Newtonian, and circulation. We have also learned a little about navigating on charts which is really confusing because it has a lot to do with seconds and lat,long. So over all i think this was a fun and prductive week.

Day 4
(1) Occam's razor is when you get rid of the impossible only leaving the possible which must be the truth. The way you could use it is if you are trying to find out hat happened our something you want to find out.
(2) Ruben h. fleet is important because he founded the air mail system. The air mail system is important because it allows people to carry messages quickly.
(3) Datum means the last known point or the center of where someone is. the symbol of datum is
(4)The Red barons plane was red because he wanted to intimidate people so they would know who he was. In another ay he was trying to get attention.

Day 2
(1) The way I think our modifications helped is that it allowed us to stay in the air longer. The way that it didn't help us is that it created more drag which slowed us down and we couldn't move fast.
(2) We obsevered that our planes fell quickly. We wanted to know that if it stayed up longer it would go farther. We thought if it would stay up and go farther.We tried and they had to much drag.It stayed up but went shorter.
