1.Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that, together,


laid the foundation for classical mechanics. They describe the
relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it, and its
motion in response to those
forces(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion)
First law: an object at rest stays at rest unless another force is acted
upon it.
Second law: F=MA /Forces=mass x acceleration
Third law: for every action there is an equal or opposite reaction
In newtons (measurement of force).

2.The basic elements of flight include many physical concepts, which


can be seen in airplanes. There are 4 forces at work in flight like
thrust, drag, gravity and lift. Without these 4 rules of flight there
would be no flight. Drag is a mechanical force. It is generated by the
interaction and contact of a solid body with a fluid.
(www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/drag1.html). Thrust is a
force that pushes or accelerates an object in one direction but there
is just as larger force in the opposite direction. Lift is generated as a
reaction to the acceleration of the downwash. Gravity or gravitation
is a natural phenomenon by which all things with energy are brought
toward (or gravitate toward) one another, including stars, planets,
galaxies and even light and sub-atomic particles.

3.The aerodynamics that could affect my rocket are things like wind.
The wind could push the plane over. Also, the sky and wind would
slow the rocket down with friction and air resistance.

4.Terminal velocity is the highest velocity that can be attained by an


object when it is falling through fluid. It happens when the sum of
the drag force and the buoyancy is equal to the force of gravity.

5.he formula for kinetic energy is K.E.=1/2m*v2. m stands for mass


and v is for velocity. Also the formula for gravitational potential
energy is P.E.=mgh. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s2.

6.the necessary parts to create a rocket are a carboard tube/base,


parachute material, rocket fuel, nose head and fins and a fuse
to light the rocket.
7. The main stages of building a rocket are getting the rocket body
which will be a carboard tube. After I will build my fins for my
rockets. Then I must 3D print a nose cone that is the perfect
shape for my rocket. After I then need to fasten my material
into a parachute. Then I must attach all my components
together and equip it with a rocket fuel engine which I need to
research about.

9.According to CASA the regulations for an unmanned model


rockets:101.470
 A person may launch a rocket that is not a model
rocket to higher than 400 feet AGL only.
 A person must not launch a model rocket into cloud.
 You cannot launch a model rocket at night
10.There are various sizes of engines are there:
 13 x 45 (T mini engines)
 18 x 70 Standard
 24 x 70
 29 x 124
Those were just the most commonly used, to see more click

11.There are different types of model rockets such as a model
rocket, a mini rocket, high power rocket, micro rocket and an
amateur rocket. Also there are two main types of rockets, ones with
solid fuel like gun powder or composite and ones with liquid fuel like
nitro.

12. The maximum height a model rocket can reach is 400.
Depending on my tube size I will use the 13 x 45 T mini engines.
