LABORATORY PAPER NO.4:

NEWTON’S LAW OF MOTION: UNDERSTANDING ACTIVE AND
PASSIVE SAFETY IN MOTOR SPORTS

I. LEARNING OUTCOMES:

At the end of the simulation, the students should be able to:

1. Describe Newton’s first law of motion
2. Define inertia and frames of reference
3. Deriving the second law of motion
4. Identifying the action and reaction forces in different situations

II. PRINCIPLE:

In this assignment, you will be playing an immersive online learning

simulation.
Use capital letters only and all activities should be handwritten.

Below you can read the main learning outcomes and techniques you'll
practice, as well as a brief introduction and storyline to the simulation.

Once you are ready, you can start the simulation by pressing the simulation
launch button/link.

Enter the race car mechanics lab

Do you know why Labster’s race cars win so many motorsport
championships? Because our drivers dare to reach the maximum potential of
themselves and their cars. Motorsport drivers not only need all parts of their
car to help them accelerate, but they also need to feel safe in doing so. In this
simulation, we will use Newton’s laws of motion to break down the passive and
active safety features of a race car to enable our drivers to move faster in the
safest way possible.

Understanding inertia
Have you noticed that when driving a vehicle and using the brakes to stop,
your body continues moving forward? In the first mission, you will use
Newton’s first law of motion to understand why this happens, and the
importance of optimizing a car’s features to prevent drivers from hurtling
forward when suddenly braking at high speeds.

Newton’s second law of motion

In order to understand Newton’s second law of motion, observe the motion of
boxes as a result of external forces. From this mission, you will understand
how friction between the tires and the road impacts the acceleration of a race
car.

Action and reaction forces

In most interactions, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting
objects. This is what Newton’s third law of motion describes. Check out
examples of this law in motorsports and identify the action and reaction forces
while driving.

Reference frames
Is the race car moving faster if you observe it from your seat at the stadium,
from the TV, or if you are a passenger? Reference frames are used to explain
how motion may be relative depending on your position as an observant. Do
you have all the required knowledge to join the team of motorsport engineers?

III. OBSERVATIONS:

Here I observe how

Newton`s 3rd law can
solve, the discuss
the formula in
solving the 3 law of
rd

Newton.

Newton`s 3rd law

discuss how two
object re-act to each
other if the collision
occurs on the two
object.

Same observation
on this illustration,
but we all know that
the bricks are made
stationary. So it
shows here how
they re-act to each
other. The
fastmoving car
bounce back where
it comes but then
the bricks didn’t
move but it made
some damage from
the fastmoving car.
In here, they
demonstrate how
the fastmoving car
re-act to small
stationary bricks.
The bricks may
move but unlike the

fastmoving car that

bounce back a lot.

The gravitational force also occurs on

Newton`s 3rd law that helps a lot when
Newton`s 3rd law happen on two object.

IV. CONCLUSIONS:
Forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without
experiencing a force itself. In this situation the 2 cars apply a force that is equal in magnitude
and opposite of the direction that the forces apply. In, this situation is like the one in the first
row but this time the one that apply another force is the brick. Newton’s third Law of Motion
they both apply the equals in magnitude and opposite direction that apply forces.
