How the parachute work in the water rocket.?
hi bro (although your nick suggests you're a "pretty girll")
how does a parachute work in a water rocket?
1) it slows the rate of descent of the water rocket, prevents damage when it lands (instead of crashing down at high speeds!)
2) you need to design and make a successful deployment system, that opens at the right time, ie: not while it's going up or when it already crash landed. Preferably at "apogee" or at the highest possible height.
3) materials can be plastic bin bags (large rubbish bags) or old umbrella material, or the best, parachute material!
