What did I do?
I did the balloon cart challenge where we use a balloon, 4 pairs of wheels, 2 straws, tape, and a plate, and we did tournaments of who’s balloon cart was built better and could go the farthest, but me and Jayden got cooked at the second round because the air was not enough and plus the air was coming out of the balloon which stopped at half.
What did I learn?
We learn about Newtons first, second, and third law, the first law was about an object that wants to stay at rest unless acted by something, Newtons second law is the law of acceleration, which is F=MA (Mass), Newtons third law is about a action reaction for example, when a car is moving the applied force is way more than the friction force but the gravitational force and the normal force remains the same.
What worked?
What worked was that after learning Newtons third law and second law me and Jayden changed our balloon cart we changed the small paper straw to a big plastic straw it helped a lot because we could put more air and the air wont come out that much, but after we started to add weights which is starting to short the length but it still go far.
What did not work?
What did not work was that when we started to add weight the length that it used to go shortened like 20 percent so me and Jayden are still trying to let it go farther even with 6 washers.
Personal Refrence
The balloon cart was like a real car in the real world.
I see Newton’s third law when in real life when I see a car moving
It is important to know these Laws because it helps people know what will happen if they see cars or even stuff in life.
