skydiverbry 0 #1 November 11, 2006 This is what happens when a chute fails to deploy on a mdel rocket. It was embedded about 6 inches in the ground!! Anyboby know how to figure it velocity on return to earth?-------------------------------------------------- Growing old is mandatory.Growing up is optional!!

I think NASA has a sight where you can do the basic calcs yourself. Shoot me a line if you need some help. Google NASA and terminal velocity and see if you get anything. If you've had a basic physics class you should be able to grasp what's presented and maybe even derive some of it yourself.

It evens includes JAVA Applet calculator,just put in the #'S and it will spit out the answer. Just haven't weigh in the rocket and used it .Thanks I'll put up the velocity when I get a chance.Bry-------------------------------------------------- Growing old is mandatory.Growing up is optional!!
