How to design and build a balloon powered dragster without a 3D printer
Newton's Third Law
Whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other. For example, when you sit in your chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair and the chair exerts an upward force on your body. There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the chair and a force on your body. These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion. |
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
In every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.
The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.
The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object.
Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.

You should complete the following tutorials to help you as you design your balloon powered dragster.
Learn how to:
Use the Engineering Design Process as you imagine - build - test - improve - present your solution.
You can design and print many prototypes you need.
Remember to name your versions e.g Super v1, Super v2.
Good luck to all our young designers.
Balloon Dragster finals will be held on Week 7 (more details to come).
