  29. WATER ROCKET Basic Parts of a Water Rocket Principle of Rocket Flight Construction of a Water Rocket (video)

  30. BASIC PARTS OF A WATER ROCKET • Nose cone • Contains Ballast and Cushioning • Ballast provides aerodynamic stability during flight • Cushioning preserves shape of rocket on impact • Body • Holds water and compressed air • Skirt • Used for attaching fins to body • Fins • Ensure accurate flight in desired direction • Nozzle • Releases compressed air and water from body at high velocity

  31. PRINCIPLE OF ROCKET FLIGHT • Newton’s famous Third Law of Motion: • FOR EVERY ACTION, THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION • In Water Rockets: • Action: • Release of compressed air and water from body of rocket through nozzle • Reaction: • Rocket propelled forward at high velocity due to thrust thus produced

  32. CONSTRUCTION OF A WATER ROCKET • Official video on making of Water Rockets by JAXA
