A DEEP dive into optimal angles of launch and how they effect distance torpedos travel.

At the beginning of DEEP our group was torn between choosing a project. We had many options to choose from but we ended up choosing a torpedo project. We knew that we wouldn't be able to make our own powered torpedo so we modified a marble launcher to be able to shoot toy torpedos. Our experiment’s objective was to find the optimal angle to launch a non-powered torpedo underwater.
This Sequence of Photos shows the modifications we made to the marble to launcher for it to shoot rockets.
