There are five main forces acting upon a balloon powered car.

  • The Gravitational Force (GRAVITY) - This force is pushing down on the car.
  • The Normal/ Static Friction - This force is pushing upward, and is equal to the force of gravity. These two force react equally, and keep objects at rest.
  • Air Resistance - This type of resistance/friction pushes against the car as it is in motion. Having a pointed tip/head (similar to a plane) helps to reduce air resistance.
  • Kenetic Force - This is the force going in the opposite direction of Air Resistance. Kinetic energy exists in any moving object. The air being let out of the balloon is an example of this force.
  • Rolling Friction - As the wheels roll, the dirt and raised parts of the floor cause friction beneath the wheels. This friction can slow the car down.
