Riding On a hovercraft feels
like riding on a less stable flying saucer sled, mixed with a roller coaster
from the underworld. The hovercraft moves like a sled with no brakes or
steering, it brings back childhood memories. It brings Christmas to September.
I do not feel as though I learned more about
inertia, but rather that I solidified my understanding of inertia more. I
learned a good deal about net force, and how forces can balance out, which is
very intriguing. My understanding of equilibrium is still weak, yet I hope that
will improve as time goes on.
Acceleration seems to be dependent on how much force
is applied to an object, and also where that force is applied.
I expect to have a constant velocity when there are
no forces acting on me on a horizontal axis.
Some people are harder to stop on a hovercraft due
to their weight. This is apparent as a smart car is easier to stop then a
tractor trailer. There is simply more mass to stop which is harder.
