make a hole in the center of each equivalent force in contrast state of
wheel to attach the wheels to the rest. As a result, the balloon car
skewers. Slide the wheels onto the changes its state of motion and move
ends of the skewers sparingly. If the actively.
wheels are loose, then place a drop of
glue or clay on the end of the
skewers. If you are using bottle caps,
you will need to punch the hole by
applying a nail and hammer.
After that, attached a straw into
a balloon and wrap tapes in a tight
spiral around the end. Extend the
tape over the edge so that it covers
part of the straw and seal air tightly.
Consequently, tape and place securely
the straw and balloon on top, each
facing a narrow end. The balloon
should be resting on top of the
cardboard with the straw hanging
over one of the ends.
Now, the procedure for a
balloon-powered car is near
completion, but the car is still
stationary. Therefore, you need to
blow some air into the balloon
through the straw, squeeze the straw,
place the car on a smooth and flat
surface, and then let go of the straw.
The car is then working and moving
speedily.
The concept behind the balloon-
powered car is simple and easy. When
we inflate the balloon, set the racer
down, and let it go, the escaping air
from the balloon rushes out of the
straw. As Newton’s Third Law of
Motion stated that every action force,
there is an acting equal but opposite
direction of reaction force in between
the object. As such circumstances, the
air that rushes backward out of the
balloon will push the racer forward in
the opposite direction with an
