    This lab report describes a balloon rocket experiment to investigate Newton's third law of motion. Students used balloons of different sizes attached to straws of different lengths to see how far and fast they would travel. They found that smaller balloons and longer straws traveled shorter distances than larger balloons and shorter straws due to differences in friction and amount of air pressure. The conclusion is that the experiment demonstrates action-reaction force pairs as described by Newton's third law.

    Balloon Rocket Experiment

    Introduction 
     
    Newton's third law is states that for every action, there is an 
    equal & opposite reaction. The statement means that in every 
    interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting 
    objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of 
    the force on the second object. 
    To begin the experiment, we have to investigate to see the 
    action that occurs to the balloons. Differentiation of a reaction that 
    occurs to our balloons will depend on the air that we put in, and 
    also a length of a straw. We have both short and long size of a 
    straw which create a different speed of a reaction. The result that 
    will comeout should be different either in distance or a speed. 
     

     
     
     
    Objective 
     
    To investigate the action-reaction relationships 
     
     
    Set up 
     
    In the physics laboratory 
     
    Procedure 
     
    1. Tie on end of the rope to the chair 
    2. Put long and short straws in the rope 
    3. Tie another end with another chair 
    4. Blow the balloon, hold it, and tape it to the straw 
    5. Release the balloon and record the time as it reaches the end 
    6. Try different size of balloons, string, straws, and angle of the 
    string. 
     
    Analysis 
     
    In the experiment, we used different length of straws to see 
    which one goes further and faster. Shorter straw was faster and 
    further because there is less surface and less frictional force. The 
    larger balloon contains more air so it pushed the straw to go faster 
    and further than smaller inflated balloon. Thinner string is lighter 
    and made the straw went faster than thicker string. 
     
     
    Answer the following questions briefly and concisely 
     
    a. Does the shape of the balloon affect how far (or fast) the Rocket 
    travels? 
    Yes, bigger balloon will have more air and more force to push the 
    straw forward. 
    b. Does the length of the straw affect how far (or fast) the Rocket 
    travels? 
    Yes, because longer straw has more frictional force and slows 
    down. It makes the distance shorter. 
    c. Does the angle of the string affect how far (or fast) the Rocket 
    travels? 
    Yes, high angle makes the balloon goes further and faster. 
     
     
    d. What do you think is going to happen when you let go of the 
    balloon opening? • Let go of the balloon, then release its opening. • 
    Which direction—and how far—did it go? Draw FBD. • Try it again 
    with the balloon only half inflated (assumed half inflated). How 
    fast and how far do you think it will go? • What are other ways 
    you could get a balloon to go faster or slower—or longer or shorter 
    distances? 
    The air released by the balloon will push the balloon forward. Half 
    inflated balloon distance’s will be shorter than big balloon. 
    According to Newton’s third law which is action = reaction and will 
    act on opposite direction, if we don’t tape the balloon parallel to 
    string it will not go in a straight line. 
     
     
    Conclusion 
     
    In conclusion, this experiment can be applied to Newton’s 
    third law. When there is something acting on something, it is called 
    action-reaction. In this experiment, the balloon is the reaction and 
    the air release from the balloon is the action in order to push the 
    balloon. The force when the air pushes the balloon to go forward is 
    equal the force the balloon releases the air. 
     
     
    Recommendation 
     
    Start the timer at the same time as releasing the balloon. Tape the 
    balloon properly, and also set the table/chair to make it easier for 
    the experiment.
