Toggling between top speed and acceleration is a complex dance in Formula 1 racing, something skilled F1 drivers must learn ...

Water rockets are plenty of fun, but they can be even more fun if you go wild with the engineering. [The Q] is one such experimenter, who built a dual-thrust water rocket that even has a parachute … ...

To show us how to use some of the equations he’d been teaching us, the professor showed us that you cannot get into orbit with a single-stage rocket. He worked from first principles, which in the case ...

Plugging those values into the acceleration equation yields a 0-60 mph time of 1.1 seconds with rocket assist. However, that assumes the rockets will be able to run for a full 0-60 mph pull.

We won't go back that far for this analysis. In the MythBusters finale, everyone figured they should send Buster (the crash test dummy) out with style. They mounted him to a rocket sled and ...

Looking at the fitting equation in the plot, the launch acceleration of the New Shepard is about 3.74 m/s 2 (assuming my scale is correct). Yes, this doesn't seem like a large acceleration---but ...

NASA and Howe Industries are working on a new rocket to make the trip to Mars much more manageable. The Pulsed Plasma Rocket could boast 100,000 N of thrust, unlocking speeds of up to half a ...

NEENAH - Five Neenah High School students worked on a formula car and raced it mid-May at an Elkhart Lake racetrack — and they're already getting ready to do it again next year.

DISCUSSION: Four-step plan Step 1: FBD Draw individual free-body diagrams for the drum and block.. Step 2: Kinetics - Newton/Euler Write down the Newton/Euler equations for the drum. Note that since ...
