Project 1: Individual Contributions
Project 1: Individual Contributions
For this project, I performed several experiments, calculated values and uncertainties, formatted the slide presentation, and contributed to the programming of the rocket model.
In regards to determining the range, I contributed to the recording and took note of the launch of the rocket at different stretches and differing heights. I calculated the angles at which the rockets were launched based on the heights that were measured. We took a total of 6 videos that I then cropped and organized into folders on a shared Google Drive with instructions on what to have done by the next class period. Individually, I analyzed two videos on Vernier and shared the results with the group on Drive. Then I calculated the range and uncertainties using standard deviation and the fits from the graphs. I corrected the theoretical range from what was calculated by the group in class using methods of integration and experimental time and organized the work into the presentation.
In regards to determining the spring constant, I transferred all our experimental data (stretch, mass, force, theoretical k values) in class onto a table that is seen on our slides. I created and formatted the Force vs. Displacement graph to determine the spring constant K on Google Sheets which was then transferred onto the slides presentation. I also calculated the uncertainty for the spring constant.

In regards to velocity, I derived the formula to solve for velocity using the work-energy theorem using the information from when the band was stretched to when it was unstretched and calculated the velocities by inputting several stretches into the formula and using the K value determined through the spring constant experiments. To use the maximum height model, the group took videos of the rocket being launched at different stretches at a 90-degree angle. However, I recorded 4 videos to calculate the uncertainty through the video analysis. After analysis, I graphed the 2 velocities on a velocity vs. stretch graph.
In regards to determining the air drag constant, I measured the area and mass of the rocket to determine the air drag constant and used the derived equation in class to solve for the constant. Additionally, I solved the uncertainty using the values from the class and other groups.
In regards to the programming, while Muhammad developed the primary code, I contributed by seeking assistance from Mario in the ASAC and exploring alternative coding approaches as a backup. However, I did not end up adding graphs to the code so it was not used for the final project.
For the group, I organized all the information in one space so that it was easily accessible for everyone on Google Drive. Additionally, I delegated tasks to each group member to ensure everyone was responsible for a part of the project. I communicated every day and made sure that everyone was aware of their responsibilities, constantly checking in to see if they had any questions or progress in the project.
