Project
Project Name: Rockets vs. Kinematics
Project Leaders: Robert Melikyan
Chapter Advisors: Preston Countryman
Project Description: We propose to examine the difference between simple and complex rocket trajectory models (with experimental comparisons). We are using model rockets because they can be considered a relatively simple system some students have experience with. A motivation for this project is furthering our knowledge of how physics relates to reality.
