Abstract
The air-pumped, water-propelled rocket is a common child’s toy, yet forms a reasonably complicated system when carefully analyzed. A lab based on this system was included as the final laboratory project in the honors version of General Physics I at the USAF Academy. The numerical solution for the height of the rocket is presented, as well as several analytic approximations. Five out of six lab groups predicted the maximum height of the rocket within experimental error.
