- Third Party Resource Title: Modeling Rocket Flight Trajectory
- Third Party Resource Link: https://serc.carleton.edu/teaching_computation/workshop_2018/activities/210996.html
- Description: In this classroom activity, the students will develop a model to determine the time of flight of rocket missile launch from the surface of the earth and distance travelled when the rocket returns to the ground. To explain the problem in a clear way, the student will write MATLAB codes to calculate the range that a rocket missile would travel when it is launched with an initial velocity of 20 m/s at an initial angle of theta.
