Physics Lab: Parabolic Motion of Projectiles Will Clark Field Thursday, October 8, 2009
Blue Jays take textbook theory and put it into practice. To study parabolic motion, Mr Wahl's physics class went out to Will Clark Field to fire rockets and measure the force of gravity.
Senior Andrew DeGenova fuels the rocket with compressed air as seniors Ed Wu, Tristan Wong, junior Bobby Butera, and Mr Wahl look on.
This rocket leaves the pad.
Junior Matthew Martin sets up the final rocket launch.
Houston, we are ready for lift off.....
FIRE.......
We have lift off...
With their data on paper, Mr. Wahl’s students return to class to complete their lab reports.
