each other out. The final speed of the rocket is found by dividing the total momentum forthe exhaust or the opposite rocket momentum by the mass of the rocket. This simple explanationignores gravity and air resistance. In this project, many model rockets were launched, and thestudents clearly observed that expelled gases push against something (the launch pad) only duringthe brief ignition and lift-off moment. In Figure 12, model rocket ZE-1’s flight trajectory showsthe rocket thrusting without having to push against anything for up to 53 meters.Energy Source for Propulsion for Model Rocket Engines The The Chemical Side Physical
