Newton third law of motion activity with aim, observation and conclusion
Answers
Explanation:
Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. So, if I push on the wall with 100N of force, it pushes back on me with 100N of force.
The action and reaction forces are called an action-reaction pair. To understand how these work in a rocket, we're going to use balloons as a model. The size of the balloon will represent how much fuel the rocket has, and thus how big the action force
activity
Materials
2 balloons of the same type
1m of string to measure the balloon
5m of string for experiment
4 2-inch pieces of masking tape
2 straws
Meter stick
Steps
1. Slide the 5m piece of string through the straw to create a track for the balloon.
2. Blow up the first balloon as large as it will go. Do not tie it off.
3. Attach the straw to the balloon. Put the straw on top of the balloon and use 2 pieces of masking tape to secure it.
4. Now, measure the circumference of the balloon by wrapping the string around it. Measure the string with the meter stick. Record this in your data table.
5. Now, it's time to let your balloon fly. Pull the balloon to one side of the string and either secure the other side to an object or have a friend hold it. Let your balloon open and watch it fly on the track.
6. Measure the distance traveled using the meter stick and record this in your data table.
7. Repeat step 1-6 for the second balloon, but make it a smaller size.
