Unit 1 & 2: Acceleration
When Lightning Mcqueen was on his way to visit Smokey, He saw the sign to Thomasville which had a picture of Doc on it when he was a racer because they passed by it at first, Mcqueen asked his truck driver to back up. This relates to acceleration because, in order to change directions, the truck driver had to come to an abrupt stop which increased the acceleration. Because the amount of time that it took to cease the speed was halved, the acceleration doubled.
Unit 3: Newton’s 3 Laws
While Lighting Mcqueen and his trainer Cruz were at the Thunder Hollow track, which was in the shape of figure 8, there were several cars in motion. However due to the law of Inertia, which states an object in motion stays in motion unless

Because Storm forced Cruz up against the wall, she slowed her down, making the product of her change in velocity and mass equal to Storms change in velocity times the mass, which virtually equates to Momentum.
Unit 6: In the opening scenes when Storm passed Mcqueen for the first time, the announcer said that audience had never seen “that speed or power before”. In physics, we learned that power is equal to work overtime because work is equal to the force times the distance. This means that Storm is covering the same distance of the track as everyone else in a fraction of the time, which thereby increases the amount of power Storm produces overall. Another example of this is when Doc was pushed up against a wall while racing, much like Cruz was, however, he put a stop to this momentum when he flipped over the other car which allowed him to win the race, and he did not even have to stop, he just landed and his momentum carried him through the finish
