BALLOON POWERED CAR

PROJECT
The balloon is in an elastic state and it stores
potential energy when it is filled with air. When air is
released, potential energy is converted to kinetic
energy. This is the energy you see when the car is
driven forward.
The more energy potentially stored, the more kinetic
energy the car will have when you release it.
To see the relationship of the project between the
potential energy and the kinetic energy of the
material that has been built.
To test the distance that can be traveled by using a
small-sized balloon and the speed traveled by the
balloon.
To test the distance that can be traveled for a large
balloon and the speed traveled by the balloon.

Based on the objects that have been selected, it is
found that:

A small balloon can only travel a short distance and

the speed of the balloon is reduced. This is because
the amount of air in the balloon is small.

Meanwhile, for a large balloon, it can travel a long

distance and the speed of the balloon increases. This
is because, large balloons have a large amount of air
to be released
