Applying Newton 's Three Laws Of Motion

Decent Essays

This project is a long project that nine weeks to complete. It is required to pass physical science. You will be assigned this project that will require you to build a car that is going to be propelled by a mouse trap. It is a certain brand of mouse trap. You have journals check ups every week, the journals will have anywhere to questions about energy and a picture of your project so far. They are actually beneficial, I didn 't do all of mine on time which will dock you points so you probably should. My goal for this project was to build a mousetrap car that would travel a total distance of at least 5 meters. I also knew this was going to be a hard project and that you shouldn 't put it off until the weekend before it 's due like I did. I think my car should be able to travel at least 6 meters if not more. The purpose of this project is to apply newton 's three laws of motion. The first law is that every object in a state of uniform motion tend to remain in the same state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. Newton 's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the accelerate. His third law is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I thought that building a car that was small and had little weight would help me be able to build a faster car. I thought that it would help to also keep the mouse trap whole, but i found out that with different styles
