Wednesday we'll have our rocket competition after we finish going through new material. As I mentioned today, there are 3 targets you'll have to hit.
You'll have three shots at each, with one practice shot. If you hit on the practice shot but miss on one of your 'real' attempts, we'll take the best 3 out of 4. Overall this will count as 2 lab grades, scaled by how many times you hit the target.
I will specify the distance to each target and its height above the floor when applicable. You'll have a marked line that you can't cross, but you can move further back, prop up your rocket, etc., so long as you don't move closer. You can use a laser pointer to align the launcher horizontally if need be. There will be a small prize for the top 3 teams.
- over level ground
- hit a hole (about 0.2m in diameter and 0.5m above the floor)) in a vertically standing board
- hit a hole (same hole) in a board lying flat about 0.5m above the floor
