moron teacher

Post by anoymous »

Hi like I already said in the introduction (viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2728), we do our research competences about water rockets. Now wants our physics teacher us to launch at the courtyard of the school. It is 65m long, 45m wide and is completely surrounded with a building (namely our school). The building is approx. 15 m high (exept on one side there is the building only 4 m high. are there others who also think this is dangerous?
I know, it is the same post as one of my other topics (idiotic launch site), but nobody reads that topic and I don't know how to rename it.

Think of it as an accuracy challenge similar to what is done at NPL.

It's not dangerous to launch there. The danger comes only when you land on the building roof and have to scale the wall of the building to get the rocket back. (This danger is lessened considerably if there are stairs or elevators that have an exit on the roof).
