Analyzing Newton's Laws Of Motion

Decent Essays

As my car was strapped down in the chassis, my heartbeat began beating faster. As each second ticks by nervosity fills me. Questions filled me. Would my car survive the car crash test? Bam! The car crashed into the wall, and the egg didn’t crack. (#13) Because of the weight of the car, reaction force, and the Newton’s law of motions, my car was able to survive the car crash test. To begin, even though my car wasn’t that heavy, the chassis made it heavier. The chassis made my car heavier, which made my car to go faster down the ramp. There was more energy. Based on experiments that my class did, the type of energy doesn’t make a difference. When my car was at the top of ramp, while it was going down the ramp, there was more potential energy, but as the speed …show more content…

The ramp exerts an equal upward force on the car. Newton’s third law states that “ For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.” (Newton’s Third Law) Finally, Newton’s laws of motions explains the reason why my car was able to go down the ramp. Newton’s first law of motion states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. This law explains that until the car isn’t acted upon by a force, it wouldn’t move. In our situation, we would count down and then let go of the car. The car would still be able to move without any force acted upon it. In this case, Mr.Brown was the external force because he was the one who pushed the car down the ramp. Even though so much force was acted upon my car, the egg didn’t crack. In conclusion, Newton’s laws of motion, weight of the car, and reaction force, my car was a success in the car crash test, and the egg didn’t
