Pressure and Motion

1
Pressure and Motion

• Experiment Conducted By
• Dusty Taillon

2
Newtons Third Law of Motion

• For every action, there is an equal and opposite
  reaction.

3
What are we going to do?

• Construct a booster fueled by a seltzer tablet
• Observe the chemical change to give it boost
• Create carbon dioxide to thrust the booster

4
How does it work?

• Mix the water and a tablet
• Carbon dioxide
  (bowl and tablet)
• Film canister
  (gas has no where to go so the
  cap is blasted down and the rocket is blasted up)
  
• Rockets use the same system of thrust

Lets make a rocket!
