Question 24

Describe how each of Newton's three laws of motion would apply to bumper cars (an amusement park ride).

Question 25

How does increasing the mass of an object change it's motion? What would happen if one of the bumper cars had 2x the mass compared to the other cars? How would Newton's laws apply now?

Q 24: Newton's first law of motion states that anything that stands still will stay still unless unbalanced force is acted upon that object. Newton's second law of motion states that the velocity of an object changes when subjected to external Force. Newton's third law of motion says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. when bumper cars crash into each other one car goes one way and the other goes the other way.

Q 25: if the bumper cars doubled their Mass the motion would be halfed but if the net force is doubled the motion will double.
