+A numerical simulation program to plot the flight path of a water-bottle rocket in 2 dimensions under the influence of gravity and drag and with an inital speed and acceleration determined by the size of the bottle, amount of water, and pressure of the bottle.
+Uses a simple rectrangular numerical integration scheme to compute the velocity and position of each rocket.
+Can simulate a large number of rockets at a single time.
+Written as part of an AP Physics lab.
