Question

Mina created a miniature rocket launcher, and the graph shows the height of one of her

rockets relative to the ground over time, where the rocket's height (y) is measured in meters
and time (x) is measured in seconds. *
(2 points)
The Vertex represents
the maximum height of the rocket
the minimum height of the rocket
the moment before the rocket is launched

Answer 1

Work individually or in teams of two to construct and launch paper rockets using a teacher-built PVC-pipe launcher.

Following the flight of their rocket, calculate the altitude their rocket achieved.

Based on the flight performance of their rockets, analyze their rocket designs, modify or rebuild them, launch again, and calculate the altitude achieved to determine if their changes affected the performance of the rocket.

Conclude the activity by writing a post-flight mission report.
