Analysis

Most of the information for our analysis came from [|Estes' Elementary Mathematics]
[|of Model Flight].

====2) We used some data taken straight from the [|Estes' Engine Chart], our own data reorganized, and some calculations to figure out our rockets final velocity:==== the variables in the equation for final velocity that is used at the bottom of the chart are: F=force v2= velocity 2 wav= average engine weight g=acceleration due to gravity t=time (we used our time up)


 * start weight (rocket and engine) || 123.7 g ||
 * propellent weight || 6.24g ||
 * final rocket weight B6 (intial-propellent)=123.7g-6.24g || 117.46 g ||
 * average rocket weight (initial+final)/2=(123.7g+117.46g)/2 || 120.58 g ||
 * time up || 1.84 s ||
 * distance up (calculated) || 22 m ||
 * total impulse || 5.00 N/s ||
 * time delay || 2 s ||
 * max thrust || 12.1 N ||
 * duration thrust (burn time) || .8 s ||
 * F (Force)= total impulse/ total time = 5 N/1.84 s || 2.72 N/s ||
 * v2 = (F/wav-1) gt = (2.72 N/s/120.58g-1)x(-9.8m/s2) x 1.84s || 17.6 m/s ||
