Physics Of A Hot-Rod Car

579 Words3 Pages

My idea for a hot rod car that counteracts the physics of a car crash is, a hot rod made out of Plastic, Wood, Foam, Cotton balls, Crochet egg holder, popsicle sticks, that will withstand 4 crashes at 30 degrees, 35 degrees, 40 degrees, 45 degrees, and can travel a great distance.

Newton's first law of motion comes into play when the car crashes because without any type of “seat belt” securing in the rider, egg. My idea to hold an egg in place is to glue down a crochet egg holder with eye hole, so when the car crashes the egg will stay in place, because when a car crashes, it will crash at the speed the car is moving, and the egg would crash at the same speed the car is moving without anything holding it in pace, so the crocheted egg holder would hold the egg in place, so it does not break the egg. …show more content…

So when the car crashes it comes back to Newton’s First law when it hits the surface, it will need a crumple zone. A crumple zone is meant to absorb and distribute force, my idea is to use foam at the front of my cars as a crumple zone, so when the car crashes, the foam will crumple with the car and absorbing the force when you hit the surface of the wall, reducing the chance of
