Today we continued working on Unit 4,
which was 2-D kinematics! We had a short day today but it was probably one of
the most fun days! We got to launch rockets! We had four different caps to try,
each cap was able to hold up to a different amount of air pressure. Our goal
was to use 2-D kinematics to try to predict where our air rocket would land! We
used the super cap, which could hold the most pressure. We predicted about 83m.
At first we thought that the distance we predicted was crazy but we tried it
anyway. At first it didn’t quite get to Mr. Blake, but then we realized that we
didn’t count air resistance so of course it wouldn’t quite make it. But we
tried again and instead of Mr. Blake being the target Jon substituted. We would’ve
hit him if he didn’t move…. But all in all this was a SUPER fun day and I hope
there are many more fun days!
This is a picture of Aleina and I right after we tested one of the caps!
Hahaha "we would've hit him if he hadn't moved" -- best line. :P but yeah, I agree, even though it was a short day, IT WAS REALLY FUN! I like how you explained everything we did, including our original prediction! Your writing was short but right to the point, good job!
