Physics Project (Momentum)
- If there were to be a tripwire and the car tripped upon running over
it, would the car stop or would the car be lurched forward?
- Does the distance the car travel depend on the amount of air in the
balloon?
What I Learned ☝️🤓
- The car can indeed be modelled to turn in a specific direction by
making one of the wheels faster than the other. This can be done by
reducing the friction of the wheel by adding clear packing tape
around the wheel.
- Yes, when the balloon is inflated with more air, it has more mass of
air to expel. Therefore, it takes a longer time to completely expel the
air. Thus, the car travels further.
Problems
Solutions
- The wheels were
suspended from the
ground.
- The balloon was not
travelling.
