Balloon Rocket Car project

Balloon Rocket Car

Purpose

To demonstrate Newton's Third Law of Motion by constructing a balloon-powered rocket car.

Additional information

Newton's Third Law of Motion (law of reciprocal actions) states: "Whenever a particle A exerts a force on another particle B, B simultaneously exerts a force on A with the same magnitude in the opposite direction. The strong form of the law further postulates that these two forces act along the same line." This law is often summed up in the very cliché saying "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction".
