15. How a Rocket Works

16. Solid Rocket Boosters

17.  Simple  Cheap  Safe But-  Thrust cannot be controlled.  Once ignited, the engine cannot be stopped or restarted.

19. Liquid Propellant Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen - used in the Space Shuttle main enginesSpace Shuttle main engines Gasoline and liquid oxygen - used in Goddard's early rockets Kerosene and liquid oxygen - used on the first stage of the large Saturn V boosters in the Apollo programSaturn V boosters Alcohol and liquid oxygen - used in the German V2 rockets Nitrogen tetroxide/monomethyl hydrazine

26. Other Fuels  Chemical reactions that produce gas are common for obvious reasons (lots of gas for a small amount of solid/liquid)  Any system that throw mass would suffice

27. Other Fuels  Compressed Gas such as CO 2 or liquid nitrogen  Fusion Reactors  Matter-antimatter  A baseball thrower  Plasma/Ion engines  Compressed air with water (Your rocket)

28. How high does it go?  Use Trig

29. Use Algebra y = v o t + 1/2 gt 2 V 0 - initial velocity t-time g-acceleration due to gravity
