CD Hovercraft

PIRA: 1F30.12

Overview:

The hovercraft demonstrates the inertia of a moving object very well as it has almost no friction to slow it down. When the hovercraft is given momentum, it retains nearly all of it and will keep almost all of its velocity until the balloon runs out of air.

Materials:

CD Hovercraft

Setup:

Place CD hovercraft on a table for easy access

How to:

Blow into the balloon from the other side of the CD. Cover the hole with your finger until you place it on a flat surface. Push the hovercraft to give it momentum.

Safety:

Do not throw the CD hovercraft
