M2com Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hey there,I really enjoy rocketry, the math and the crafting of the actual rocket. However, I'm getting stuck on the fact that I need to collect data and then analyze the data with math. I haven't found any example of rocketry related IAs either.Any ideas for what I could investigate?Thanks! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleChopChop Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Perhaps have a look at the derivation and application of the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation? 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2com Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 That could be interesting. However, what data could I collect with that would concern that particular formula? I suppose I could test the validity of the formula by creating static miniature rockets and testing them under certain conditions. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you perhaps alter some of the conditions and come up with a slightly different version of the equation? The IB like to see you deconstruct a complex idea and reconstruct it around your own situation to demonstrate you understand it rather than just potentially copying and explaining a derivation. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
