Fire a Hotwheels car with a Rocket and Measure Velocity.

On first note, you might see very many copies of this experiment, due to our class having to individually post one. Moving on, This experiment was dangerous during our trial runs, so proper protection will be essential. Another thing is that this experiment leaves a big mess.

Step 1 Build a Secure Track

Usually a 2X4 in. width and depth of the wood is sufficient, however make sure the length is a Approximately 4.8 Meters in length, the reason being is that the Vernier equipment (mainly photogates) that we used only operate in the Metric system, and 4.8 Meters is Perfect for 5 Photogates to collect enough data. Use Metal 'L' brackets as blast shields for the front and end of the track. It is also preferable if you use Metal Wires that the car can run along so it won't steer off track.
