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
As the car go down it looses its potential energy because it is not at the same height anymore. As it loses the potential energy it gains kinetic energy. Kinetic energy came along because of its high speed. The mathematical equation for this is initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy plus external work equals final kinetic energy plus final potential energy. To find work the equation is force times distance. To find power the equation is work divided by time.
Cameron stood front of the car and became angry at his father for loving the car. He proceeded to kick the car repeatedly which dented the bumper, broke the grille and hooded headlight, and broke a bone in his foot. Afterward, Cameron was daydreaming about his father’s expression when he discovered the damaged car and leaned on the bumper of the car. This caused the jack to tip over and the car to crash through the back window of the garage which totaled the car.
We were given groups to design and make a mousetrap powered car that will roll as far as possible. This will be measured and be put into a graph. We will make three modifications to our mousetrap car over the course of the experiment. We have a variety of different materials, including plastic, wooden wheels and a dowel, screws, mousetrap, blue tack and a piece of string. Forces were acting in a negative way and a positive way on the car. Gravity was pulling the car down to the ground. Uplift was pushing up upon the car against gravity. Drag was also known as friction, holding back the car while it was moving. Thrust was in the cars favour, pushing forward against the force drag. There were also many forms of energy being used and being wasted like heat and sound energy. Potential energy was stored in the mousetrap, propelling itself forward. Kinetic energy was also demonstrated when the car started to roll.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The formula for kinetic energy is half of the mass times the volume squared. When the kinetic energy increases, the potential energy decreases. Notice, that is the opposite of what happens to potential energy. Since kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while the mousetrap car is in motion, it has kinetic
Another factor is the balloon. As the air being pushed out the balloon creates a force pushing it forward. These factors help the car achieve the distance it reached. 5. Compare the results of the tests complete with both cars.
The balloon powered race car will be powered by the balloon. The balloon will be blown into and the straw will be the source of the air going into the balloon and then pinched so there is no release of air, then release the air, measure the distance and speed of the car when air is released. This uses the three Newton laws and they are when an object is at rest it stays at rest and an object is in motion it stays in motion in a straight line at constant speed unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, the next is the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the force applied, the last is every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
In this Car Crash Project, we had to make sure we used Newton’s 3 laws. Let me explain you how I used the 3 laws in my project. For my project, I had three main important parts in my car. One of them was the crumple zone because the car is in motion until it hits the yellow which is the outside force. In Newton’s First Law he states that every object stays in motion unless acted upon an outside force. Here the object in motion is the car, and the outside force is the yellow stump. Another main component was the seat belt. The seat belt fell in Newton’s Second Law. In that law, it explains how force equals mass x acceleration. So, When the egg is wearing the seatbelt it will stop the egg from accelerating or being in motion. If it was accelerating
The Physics of NASCAR by Diandra Leslie-Pelecky: How can a car going 190 mph operate with precision? How can race car drivers walk away from disastrous crashes? The author, a physicist, caught a NASCAR race on television and wondered those same things. In The Physics of NASCAR, Leslie-Pelecky explores the science
Another force that was acting on the car was friction, friction was acting on the car because the piece of wood was very rough and had little ridges on it which was rubbing on the car which would cause it to slow down a little bit. The direction that the forces were going was pretty much everywhere, gravity was going down and friction was going forwards and backwards. The car did not work well with the friction because the friction would cause the car to somewhat lose control and go off the side of the ramp, the car did not work well with the gravity either because the gravity is what cause the car to fall and crack the egg. Some ways that we could minimize those forces is by making wheels for the car and making the bottom of the car smooth to reduce the amount of friction, we can't really reduce the gravity in the car but one thing that we could do for that is make the car really light but with a lot of padding for the egg. The reason I say we could make it really light is so that when gravity is acting on the car the car won't fall as fast and would somewhat glide down to the floor with a soft landing for the
1 st the soccer ball sits and the middle hugo will kick the ball to juan. Then hougo needs to kick the ball with force order to roll. That's when newton's 2nd law comes in. Juan needs to kick the ball to Michael. Juan uses Newton's 3rd law because for every action the ball will move. The ball gets heavier so Michael needs to kick harder and with more force so it can roll. The ball is like 3rd newton because the ball needs action and needs to get hit by something. Juan needs to hit the ball with force because the ball is wet so it got
I could tell that this car crashing is really strong because they crashed so hard that those cars fell off. Imagining that those cars would fell off and hit the bottom cars gives me nightmares. If I were in the bottom lane, I would be terrified. Technology are good but it could create a horrified accident like in the picture. There are many clounds in the sky, it looks more like smoke. The picture is black and white so it gives out a depression feeling. It is dangerous for the bottom lane car. If I were in the bottom lane, I would be terrified. It is scary how danger could be right next to
Newton’s first law of motion states that an object in motion will remain in motion, while an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by another force. This seems to be true with humans as well because it is more likely that a person will remain active in their later years if they remain to be active through the critical time of their late teens and twenties. Because a major portion of this age category is in college, it is crucial for universities and community colleges to provide physical education to help students achieve and maintain a standard level of physical and mental fitness outside and inside the classroom.
To test the claim that this behavior could “occur anywhere,” Zimbardo performed the same experiment in sedate Palo Alto, California. This car fared somewhat better, remaining untouched for more than a week. Then, Zimbardo hit the car with a sledgehammer and within a few hours, this car also was looted, turned upside down, and destroyed.
Acceleration and Speed are obviously the two defining characteristics of a fast car. Newton’s three laws of motion are an essential part in determining how fast a
There are many forms of energy. The types of energy that can affect the toy car are potential energy, kinetic energy, and work of friction. Potential is the energy of an object due to its position. Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion. Friction plays a part because it shows how much energy is needed for the car to move. All these energies are intertwined in the toy car.
