Rocket Balloon

Today I will demonstrate an experiment on a


Rocket Balloon, which will tell us about how
air cause’s forward motion. The forward
motion caused by the air is called Thrust. The
things we need for the experiment are: one
balloon, one long string about 50 cm long,
then one straw, tape and timer and a clip to
hold the balloon.

Let’s start:
(Once I’m done)

My Last Line

We saw how the balloon move forward


because of the force of air inside. It took (any
sec from the timer e.g.: 10 sec) for the
balloon to reach the finishing point and we
can easily calculate the speed of the balloon
with the formula:

S = D/T
(D-DISTANCE & T-
TIMER)

S= 50 cm upon any sec


Simplify them and you
will get the Ans should
be both cm/s
Like this (EG):

S = 10 cm/s
