Lab Investigation Making and Testing a Rocket Pre-Lab Discussion 1. For every force or action, there is an equal and opposite force or reaction. 2. When the rocket pushes down on the burning rocket fuel, the fuel pushes back, forcing the rocket upward. Observations Launch 1: Rocket popped about 5 meters or more into the air. Launch 2: Launch was less energetic; canister lifted only about 30 to 60 cm. Launch 3: Launch was more powerful than first launch; canister lifted higher. Launch 4: Launch time was much faster, but rocket went up about as high as in first launch. Analyze and Conclude 1. The rocket did not lift very far off the ground because its mass had nearly doubled. There was not enough thrust, or force, to lift the much heavier rocket very high. 2. It made the rocket go higher. Adding more fuel increased the mass being pushed out of the canister, which increased the thrust, or force. 3. It did not take as long for the rocket to pop. Warm water increased the rate at which the antacid tablet dissolved. 4. The rocket did not fly as high or as straight. Because it was not as streamlined, it was more affected by air resistance. Critical Thinking and Applications 1. The water did not take part in the reaction, but it dissolved the tablet. The tablet contained the components that reacted to form carbon dioxide gas once the tablet dissolved. 2. The tablet dissolved faster in warmer water, which allowed the ions to associate with each other sooner. 3. It would speed the reaction because it would make the tablet dissolve faster. Performance Assessment Answers will vary. Possible answer: Landing site 1 is on Amazon Planitia. I chose this site because it is relatively level and would be a safer landing area. A nearby feature I would explore is Olympus Mons because it is the biggest volcano in the solar system.

Possible answer: The Apollo astronauts explored large areas of the moon with lunar rovers. They crashed equipment onto the moon s to measure the moonquakes that resulted. This helped determine that the moon probably has a small area of molten rock at its center. The astronauts collected rock and soil samples to take back to Earth. Scientists who studied the samples learned that the moon is made up of a variety of rock types. Scientists also estimated the ages of the rocks and how and when the moon formed. 24. Both solid-fuel and liquid-fuel rockets contain a source of oxygen that allows the fuel to burn. Solid fuel is a dry explosive chemical. Liquid fuel is in liquid form. Ion rockets expel gas at very high speeds to create thrust. They do not burn chemical fuel. 25. All space probes contain a power system, a communication system, and scientific instruments. However, space probes carry different scientific instruments, depending on the specific probe s mission. 26. In Figure B, it is 6:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. A geosynchronous satellite travels at the same speed that Earth rotates and stays over the same place on Earth all the time. The satellite has moved halfway around Earth, which means
that Earth is halfway through its 24-hour cycle of rotation, or 12 hours later than in Figure A. 27. The satellite will be at position A. 28. In the 1950s, the Soviet Union and the United States were military and political rivals. In 1957, the Soviets launched the satellite Sputnik 1 into orbit. This began a competition between the two countries. The United States responded by accelerating its own space program and establishing NASA. 29. Possible answer: Athletic shoes have a shock-absorbing material that was originally developed for astronauts moon boots. Tennis rackets and golf clubs are made of lightweight materials used in spacecraft to make them lighter. Joysticks were originally used in airplanes. They were later used by astronauts to steer lunar rovers and are now used by people on Earth to play video games. 30. Space shuttles transport people and objects into orbit. Shuttles have a crew cabin in which astronauts can breathe without an oxygen tank and wear regular clothes. Shuttles also have a payload bay that holds supplies, such as satellites or laboratories, to be transported.
