  • Page 12 PROJECTILE PHYSICS Scientists call things that fly through the air (like rockets) projectiles, and they study the physics of projectiles to figure out where rockets will go when they blast off. Some of the important questions they have to answer are: •...
  • Page 13 AERODYNAMICS The science of aerodynamics studies the motion of air and the forces that act on flying objects. Even though we can’t see them, the molecules in our air can slow down a rocket by creating friction that scientists call drag. Also, the force of air molecules can change where a rocket flies by pushing more on one side than the other.
  • Page 14 DID YOU KNOW . . . SHAPE DOESN’T MATTER IN SPACE? Science fiction movies and TV shows like to show spaceships with sleek pointy shapes, but since space is a vacuum, friction no longer matters. Once a rocket gets past our planet’s atmosphere (about 600 miles / 960 km above the Earth’s surface), there are no more air molecules to worry about, and objects in outer space can be any shape at all.
  • Page 15 Getting a rocket past the Earth’s atmosphere is no easy job! It takes lots of fuel, and the fuel tanks are the heaviest things on a rocket when it is launched. But as that fuel is burned up, the rocket gets lighter and lighter. Check out a video of a rocket launch and you’ll see the rocket accelerating slowly at first and then gaining speed.
