Repulsorlifts were used in the study to find out if they can be used to replace the wheels of a conventional car. It was hypothesized that it will be able to lift a car using magnetic repulsion forces. The different magnets were tested individually with the usual tests for magnetic strength‚ size‚ and temperature increase‚ which were done in the preliminary testing. The prototype road and car were then constructed based on the specifications that had been identified after the preliminary testing. The

Balloon Car Experiment Newton’s First Law of Motion states that when an object is set in motion‚ it will remain in motion until acted on by an outside force. Theoretically‚ this could mean you could travel at the same speed forever in one direction‚ right? The reason we don’t see this happen is because of friction. The force of friction is the resistance to motion that is in the opposite direction of the traveling object. This is why if you roll a ball on the ground it eventually stops. Friction

A balloon-powered car is powered by the air released in the straw. One must blow into the straw which inflates the balloon. When you blow up the balloon‚ set your racer down‚ and let it go‚ escaping air from the balloon rushes out of the straw causing propulsion. The principle at work is Newton’s Third Law of Motion‚ which states that for every action‚ there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of the Balloon Powered Car‚ the action is the air rushing from the straw. The reaction is the

Balloon powered car 1 How does the balloon car demonstrate that energy is transformed from potential energy to kinetic energy? Explain When the balloon has air inside it‚ the car and the balloon have potential energy stored inside it. When the air is released the car moves forward and has kinetic energy. 2 Where is most of the energy ’lost’ in this car? There is a number of different possible reasons that energy could have been lost in our car: some of the air in the balloon may have escaped through

Chriscia Y. Andres 10- SCA Title: The Balloon Powered Car Racer Background of the Study: Sir Isaac Newton developed three laws of motion in 1665 when he was only 23 years old. These laws revolutionized how science explained movement by describing how the forces acting on an object are responsible for the object’s motion. Balloon powered car racer is driven by air coming from a deflating balloon. As an alternative of using electricity‚ these cars make use of the Law of Action and Reaction

involved when two objects interact. These three laws of motion apply to the balloon racer that I created. They clarify why and how the racer works in the first place. All in all‚ all of Newton’s laws of motion relate to my balloon racer. Newton’s first law of motion states that‚ unless acted on by an unbalanced force‚ an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant velocity. The balloon car would have stayed still‚ or at rest‚ if there was no unbalanced force

Narrative To create a miniature hot air balloon the required materials are: tissue paper‚ glue sticks‚ scissors‚ and a gore template that can be found on the internet. To assemble the balloon the tissue paper must be cut into 8 panels using the gore template. The panels must then be glued onto each other by offsetting one of the panels by 1 centimeter. This step must be repeated until all 8 panels are glued together and form a balloon. The balloon should measure 1.5 meters tall and about ¾ of
