Blog 5

Today in Physics class, we went outside to Konia to launch our rockets again. We had only made one additional modification to our rocket from last time. We had trimmed the flat surface of the nose cone to make it slightly more aerodynamic. Today me and my partner was expecting our rocket to get around the same time, but to our surprise our time was about 2 seconds less. Our rocket fell much faster than last time, and we suspect it was due to the wind. However, we did make the 5 second time and received credit. We plan to construct better fins that are more stable, as our current fins are flimsy and aren't as effective as they should be.
