1:16:02
which is exactly where we found
that rocket, Mr.Turner.
1:16:05
See, Mr.Turner, that rocket fell
for about 14 seconds, which means...
1:16:09
that it flew to an altitude
of 3,000 feet...
1:16:12
according to the equation...
1:16:14
"S" equals one-half "A"
"T" squared...
1:16:18
where "S" is the altitude,
"A" is the gravity constant-- or 32--
1:16:21
and "T" is the time it took
for that rocket to come back down.
1:16:24
- Velocity equals
acceleration times time.
- Get him, Homer, get him.
1:16:27
- Are you following this, Mr.Turner?
- [ Students Chuckling ]
1:16:30
All right,
we're all duly impressed.
1:16:33
But do you mind telling me, if you
did not start that fire, who did?
1:16:37
[ Phone Ringing ]
1:16:39
What is it?
1:16:41
Whatever it is, i-it's ingenious.
The fins are spring-loaded.
1:16:46
That isn't a rocket at all.
1:16:48
It's an aeronautical flare.
1:16:52
There's an airport here in Welch.
It's right above where the fire started.
1:17:06
Mr.Hickam, report to my office
as soon as we return to school.
1:17:10
You do intend to enter
the county science fair, do you not?
1:17:14
Yes, sir, we do.
1:17:16
Well, if you intend
to represent Big Creek,
1:17:19
you're gonna have to be
enrolled as a student at Big Creek.
1:17:22
[ Engine Starting ]
1:17:24
"Prodigenous."
1:17:30
[ Homer ] Do you think you can draw
well enough Mr.Bolden could build it?
1:17:32
Yep. Let me see.
1:17:34
- Yeah.
- Hey, Homer.
1:17:37
- Hi, Dad.
- What's this stuff doin' here?
1:17:40
- Mr.Hickam, we didn't start the fire.
- The troopers gave it back to us.
1:17:44
- Yeah, it wasn't
even one of our rockets.
- It was an aeronautical flare.
1:17:46
Y'all go on home now.
1:17:48
Yes, sir.
