Analysis & Results
Our car traveled 45 ft with a lateral distance of 4.1 ft. One error we encountered along the way was the car did not move. This was because the balloon was not the right size. In the original plan we used rocket balloons and they did not propel our car forward in the way we had hoped...at all. We then changed the balloon to a regular sized party balloon and that worked tremendously better. It actually moved and could have gone more than 45 ft if it had not hit the trash can. The CDs worked very well as wheels and they did not need to be changed in any way. The speed for 0-5 ft was 2.73 ft/s and the speed for the total distance was 3.39 ft/s.
