fabric that goes around the user. It combats the effect of the separate inertia on ourselves‚ by making us a part of the car. Inertia refers to an objects tendency to maintain its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by a force. Sir Isaac Newtons First Law of Motion revolves around Inertia. When the car is in motion‚ inertia wants it to keep going at that speed‚ but there are several forces acting on it‚ such as friction and air resistance. The engines power compensates for this energy

molecule they discovered how it and all sulfa drugs work. Sulfa drugs contain a sulfur atom that has six total bonds (shared electrons) and six electrons of its own; this breaks the octet rule which states that atoms try to acquire eight electrons in their outer shell (not 12). Sulfur (and phosphorus) is element 16 on the periodic table; its elections are far enough to pond relatively freely with other atoms but close enough to be pulled by the nucleus strongly. This property allows it to share

Experiment 3.1 Newton’s Second Law of Motion Aim: To investigate the relationship between net force‚ mass and acceleration Hypothesis: Since Newton’s second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the total force acting upon that object‚ we can assume that the more mass being pulled down on the cart the greater the acceleration of it will be and therefore the greater its net force will be.
