As the cars race around the track, the first law you will notice is Newton’s Third Law of motion.  That forces always occur in pairs, an action and reaction force.  Newton’s Third Law states that “Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.”  You can see that in racing as the racecar tires push backwards against the road, and the road pushes back on the tires causing the car to go forward.  Friction is also necessary in this re-, in this operation, or else the racecar will not move.

You might wonder why if the forces are equal and opposite, why the road doesn’t move instead of the race car.  The answer is because the road is connected to the earth, which has an extremely large amount of mass.  The race car, comparatively so, has much less mass, therefore has much more acceleration when the same amount of force is applied to it.

The next physics property you might notice is centripetal acceleration.

IPS Physics Project due: 3/30/2006 for User:ThePlaz

I need to get a sports video and provide a 3 minute narration of what is happening related to the physics in the video. I am doing a NASCAR video. A reduced quality version of the footage I captured (about 40 minutes, 150 MB is avalible here: http://theplaz.com/Science/NASCAR%20Footage%20Low%20Quality.wmv)

As the cars race around the track, the first law you will notice is Newton’s Third Law of motion. That forces always occur in pairs, an action and reaction force. Newton’s Third Law states that “Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.” You can see that in racing as the racecar tires push backwards against the road, and the road pushes back on the tires causing the car to go forward. Friction is also necessary in this re-, in this operation, or else the racecar will not move.

You might wonder why if the forces are equal and opposite, why the road doesn’t move instead of the race car. The answer is because the road is connected to the earth, which has an extremely large amount of mass. The race car, comparatively so, has much less mass, therefore has much more acceleration when the same amount of force is applied to it.

The next physics property you might notice is centripetal acceleration.
