Determine optimal angles for maximum height and maximum distance. A stomp rocket was placed on the floor with the rocket pointed upwards at a 15 degree angle. A tape mesure was placed across the floor in the order to measure the distance that the rocket is launched.
Someone stomps on the rocket in order to launch it.
The rocket is timed from the launch until it descends to the ground. The time, distance, and theta are recorded. This procedure is repeated 3x for each theta. The data that was found was placed on graphs and in a data table. The maximum height and distance was determinded by finding the optimal angles.
