REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE Introduction Balloon powered car racers are driven by air coming from a deflating balloon. Instead of using electricity‚ these cars make use of the Law of Action and Reaction. The car is propelled forward‚ as a result of the air coming from an inflated balloon. As a reaction to the force produced by the escaping air‚ a force acts towards the opposite direction thereby pushing the car racer forward. Although balloon powered car racers have been around for quite

holiday homework Applications of Newton’s laws of motion Newton’s laws of motion are three physical laws that form the basis for classical mechanics. They describe the relationship between the forces acting on a body and its motion due to those forces. They have been expressed in several different ways over nearly three centuries‚ and can be summarized as follows: 1- The first law states that an object continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled by an external

harmony. Without it‚ things would be floating around‚ the earth wouldn’t rotate‚ and it’d be a huge mess. Newton’s laws of physics are the best way to explain how the physical world works. Newton’s first law of motion states “an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will continue moving at a consistent velocity unless acted upon by a net force. A real world example of this would be playing golf. The golf ball sits on the tee with no momentum‚ nor force acting upon it (excluding

that relates to Newton’s first law is how if a car a car will continue doing what its doing unless an unbalanced force is applied. For example a car parked in a driveway will not drive forward or reverse unless an unbalanced force is applied. When in motion a car travelling at 50m/s will continue travelling at 50m/s unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Another aspect of the car that relates to Newton’s first law is the head rests in the car. When you’re in a rear end collision the head rests

following a curved path to fly outwards‚ away from the center of the curve‚” (Centrifugal Force vs. Centripetal Force‚ n.d.). This tendency is caused by inertia. An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by a force. An object in motion will remain in motion until acted

Carousel: Centripetal Force Imagine spinning a ball on a string around you. The ball is traveling in a circular path. But Newton’s first law states that an object in motion stays in motion and that motion is in a straight path‚ not a circular path. Since the ball is traveling in a circular path‚ an outside force must be acting on the ball - that force is the string. The string is pulling the ball back toward you‚ acting as the centripetal

direction of the travel) How fast an object is going with respect to a frame of reference. You find speed by dividing distance by time. (Speed = distance/time) Instantaneous speed- the speed you are traveling at that moment‚ instead of an average. Motion- change in position of an object‚ relative to a frame of reference. Frame of reference- place or object that you assume is fixed. You observe how other objects move by comparing them to that frame of reference. Velocity- a measure of the speed and

Individuals love to go to the amusement parks and try out the rides that are available. The most common and thrilling ride is the roller coaster. An amusement park is not an amusement park if it does not contain a roller coaster. What makes these roller coasters so fun that every amuse parks has one. A lot of people would say it is their extreme high speeds that makes it very exciting. That is a valid answer‚ but it is the wrong answer. The speed has nothing to do with the excitement. It is more

7.1 Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation states that: Every particle attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Consider two particles of masses m1 and m2 separated by a distance r. Each will exert a force F on the other‚ given by where F : gravitational force between the two particles. m1‚ m2 : masses of the
