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. Wahls students return to class
to complete their lab reports.
