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.
