Time played - :40-1:20

During the time period of 40 seconds to 1 minute and 20 seconds, the coyote isfrantically chasing the roadrunner. Once a truck comes speeding his way, the coyote has to run away in fear of being run over. Because the coyote is running at such a fast speed, he does not notice that he has already ran off the cliff and is still running in mid air. The only time that the coyote comes to a hault is when he crashes into the side of another cliff.
Whether shot from a cannon or running on foot, cartoon characters are so absolute in their momentum that only a telephone pole or boulder stops their forward motion absolutely.
This is impossible because one cannot be in mid air for such a long period of time and not drop right away.
If the coyote were not a cartoon, it would have dropped off the cliff right after he ran off.
Because of gravity the coyote would have fallen right off the cliff after it ran off.

Vector Racing Cecilia and Maria

In the vector racing is related to Newton's 1^st and 2^nd laws. Newton's first law applied to the game because you have to be careful not to crash into other vehicles or the wall, and by doing that you have to give yourself a certain amount of squares to stop in order to win the game. Newton's second law is applied because the second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the mass, force and acceleration. These principles relate to our own driving especially in the winter because, you have to figure out when to start braking in order to not slide or crash into another car. Also, force, mass, and acceleration play an important role in our driving because it determines whether we will or will not to stop in time.

Vector Racing- Lauren, John, and Hannah

In this extension, we figured out how vector racing is related to Newton's first and second laws. We determined that, Newton's first law applied to the game because, in order to win the game, you have to give yourself a certain amount of squares in order to stop in time without crashing into another veichle. Newton's second law applies because force, mass, and acceleration are all important factors in whether or not the car will stop, go, or crash. These principles apply to our own driving especially in the winter because, you have to figure out when to start braking in order to not slide or crash into another car. Also, force, mass, and acceleration play an important role in our driving because, they are also things that factor into whether or not we will stop in time.
