Before we start to make a balloon rocket, first let us consider
the application of the law of conservation of momentum that we
often encounter in everyday life. When a balloon will be shot
quickly, sometimes curved or moving back and forth in the air.
When the balloon shot, the air inside the balloon out in the direction
opposite to the direction of motion of the balloon. Momentum kaluar
air from inside the balloon to balance the momentum of the bubble
that sped in the opposite direction. The same principle applies to a
rocket launch, which causes the rocket blast of hot gas can move
up with a very high speed driving. Well .. now let's get started
making balloon rockets
