                    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
