Report on Motion



The last few days in the science class we have been learning about motion. Motion is the process of changing position. To understand more of motion we did a test with the balloon on a string, message transportation vehicle.

What is motion? Motion, in general, is the process of changing position or location. Motion comes in different forms and ways. For example when we release the balloon, it move fast and it turn around the straw while getting smaller. The position begins to change when we release the air in the balloon and move  because of the force in the balloon.
We measure motion with speed, velocity or acceleration. The way we measure speed and velocity are very similar. The formula for velocity is v=d/t. You can measure the speed of motion by use this formula, s=d/t. For example the distance of the string is 3.5 and one of our times is 1.25 so it is S=3.5/1.25. S is equally to 2.8, the speed of the motion is 2.8 . When I was researching I found out that momentum is a quality of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of mass.
Forces are things that make motion move or happen. Without force there is no motion. There are 2 different forces, balance and unbalance force.  Balance force is when both side are the same size but pulling at opposite direction. For example, during tug of war both side must have the same amount of people and begin pulling at opposite direction. Unbalance force is when both sides are not the same size but pulling at the opposite direction. For example, during tug of war one side have larger amount of people than the other side and begin pulling at opposite direction.
