Foam Rocket Experiment
By, Anthony J. Carroll , John . Caples
Problem
How would wind affect the rocket's distance?
Research
Air resistance, often called drag in scientific terms, is the way air affects an airplane or a flying object! Air resistance (Which is what we are testing) is how fast and how far an object will go when facing wind. If wind is behind you, you will go faster and father, but if it's facing you it'll slow you down and you won't go as far.
Procedures
Test Number 1- Shoot the rocket with no wind resistance.
Test Number 2- Shoot the rocket with wind resistance on the lowest setting
Test Number 3- Shoot the rocket with wind resistance on the medium setting
Test Number 4- Shoot the rocket with wind resistance on the highest setting
Conclution
In concultion to our experiment we found that wind resistance plays A big role but it is nearly impossible for us to get a correct test because we could not maintain a steady force on the rocket
