 Newtons 1st Law
Newtons 1st law is closely related to
Galileo's law of Inertia. We considered
Galileo's law of inertia when we were
thinking how Newtons first law would
affect the Survival. We know from
Galileo's law of Inertia, we that the
more massive an object is, the more
of an impact. Knowing that we made
our device heavier to survive impacts.
If the Survivor was to be hit by say
an asteroid, It will stay in motion until
it is hit by an unbalanced force. But
the asteroid has to be weight much
more than the challenger for that to
happen. (By asteroid, I mean the
weight that are going to be dropped
on top of the Survivor.
Impulse and Change in
Momentum
The impulse and change in momentum
where extremely important when we were
deciding what our crumple zones were
going to look like. The physics behind air
bags is very similar to the physics behind
crumple zones. The point of the crumple
zone is too make the collision softer by
increasing the distance and lessening the
force. Our crumple zones can withstand
very strong forces, without breaking. I
weigh 114 pounds, I jumped on top of our
crumple zones, multiple times, and they
still did not budge. I can trust that our
Newtons 2nd Law
Newtons second law to be described
in the simplest form is that the
amount of force that is required to
move something is directly related to
its mass and acceleration. Newtons
second law can be seen in car
collisions. For example, if a
Volkswagen Beetle would need to
apply more force to move a car that is
more massive than it like, a truck. To
figure out how much force is required
for one object to move something, we
use the equation f=ma. Knowing this,
we made sure that the Survivor is a
bit on the heavier side. This way more
force is required to move it.
Force needed to move the Survivor:
F=ma
Mass: 0.0329 kg
Acceleration: velocity/time
2.425/1.072=2.2621268657 or 2.26
(2.26)(0.0329)=0.074 Newtons
Our crumple zones were plastic
containers with crushed paper and
styrofoam inside.
Newtons 3rd Law
Newtons 3rd law in simpler words is
that for every force there is an equal
reaction. In many types of collisions
such as a push or a car crash, as a
result the person that starts out
stationary moves. Since a amount of
the first person/objects momentum
gets transferred to the second
person/object. For example, two kids
on the playground are fighting against
who owns the hot wheel car found
deep in the sand pit, if one of the
children decide to push the other inside
the sand pit and then run off with the
hot wheel, two things would vary
depending on a few details. If the
second kid is small and scrawny, the
first kid wont need to use much force
to push him into the sand pit. This uses
the concepts discussed in Newtons
first law. Depending on how much force
the first kid applies to the second kid,
the harder his fall and the more time
he has to run and hide it in his
backpack.
The stuffing that we used as an airbag
was incredibly soft, perfect for an egg.

of the weights and the ground.
