Apply the modeling building process to the following task. Your team is designing a two-stage, solid-fuel rocket that is intended to travel to 15,000 feet and then take photos. Right now, you choose to solve a simpler problem, which is to develop a model that predicts the height that a small, low-cost rocket will fly. A small rocket can be purchased from manufacturers such as Estes or Pitsco, and it is relatively easy to measure elevation for such a rocket.

a. What are the relevant variables?

b. How are the variables related? What are the relevant equations?

c. What is a simple and low-cost way to test your math model using experimental data?
