A problem that I had to over come was that my
wheels were not stable enough. This affected my car because if the wheels were
not stable it would be easier for the wheels to get stuck. I solved this
problem by using a CD, which had the hole directly in the middle of the disk.
My newton car is related to Newton’s first law of motion because, an unbalanced
force, in this case is the rubber band the tension in the rubber band (when the
rubber band tries to unravel) causing the car to move forward. Newton’s third
law is related to my car because, air and friction is the equal and opposite
force which acts upon my car causing it to stop. My favorite part about doing
this activity is that I get to use trial and error. If my car does not work
then I get to learn from my mistakes and adjust my car. My favorite part about
this is also when I am so close to finishing and I finally make it move one and
a half meters.
