Physics Practice: Net Force on the MythBusters Rocket Car
Offered By: Dot Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the physics behind a MythBusters rocket car experiment in this 12-minute video. Calculate the momentum vector of a 2000 kg car leaving a 30-degree inclined ramp at 52 m/s. Estimate the contact time between the car and the 5-meter ramp, determine the net force on the car during the jump, and compare it to the gravitational force. Apply vector calculations and Newton's laws to analyze this exciting scenario, enhancing your understanding of momentum, force, and motion in a real-world context.
