In the 1st paragraph, summarize what you have read from your research article. You may attach another paper if you wish. Please remember that a summary MUST be in YOUR owns words, pulling out the main information from the article. In your 2nd paragraph, you will need to explain how your research will help in planning your design. Each paragraph should have a minimum of five sentences.

Design Research: For: Challenge Name
Rockets were created by the ancient Chinese and have been used for centuries. The rocket design consists of a cone and fins that help propel the
rocket through the sky. Modern day rockets have been greatly influenced by Newton’s three Laws. When there is an unbalanced force is put on a rocket, it
undergoes a change or speed in direction. The amount of force produced by he rocket engine will determine the rate at which the rocket will accelerate. The
large amount of fuel being burned causes the rocket to push the gas out of the engine as quickly as possible. The reaction of this motion of the rocket is equal
to and in the opposite reaction and thrusts the rocket up. The fins and the cone help propel the rocket in a straight direction. A rocket can travel over 40,250 km
per hour, this is called the escape velocity.
This research has helped me plan my rocket design. My challenge is to design a rocket that can hit a target and this research has showed me not only
how a rocket works, nut why it is important to have fin and cone designs that will make my rocket go straight. If my rocket can go straight than there will be a
greater chance that my rocket will hit the target. Also, my research helped me to understand how Newton’s three laws are important to my rocket design in that
all objects will stay at rest until another force acts on it. I will have to design a way for my rocket to launch by having a force act on my rocket.
