Question 1:
How does winning this game require you to apply Newton's 1st and 2nd laws?
Answer:
In the game vector racing, winning this game applies yopu to apply both of Newton's laws. The first law states that an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon another force, and same goes for if it is at rest. In this game, you have to pinpoint exactly where you want the car to go, just like an endpoint. The car will remain in motion until it reaches that final endpoint in which you set. Newton's second law states that when certain forces are unbalanced, objects will tend to accelerate. In the game, once you have clicked enter and chosen where you want the car to end up, you are unable to stop in the middle and change locations. It will constantly take the car to the spot you intended it to, until it reaches that end point. This is how the game vector racer requires the users to apply both Newton's first and second laws.
Question 2:
How do these principles apply to your own driving - especially in the winter?
Answer:
These principles also apply to my own driving in certain ways especially during the winter. This is because for instance if it is very icy and the roads are slippery, the car tends to not neccessarily stop at the given time. It makes it much much challenging for the car to come to a stop because it is a sliding road which is not the easiest to maneuver through. Not only that, but it is also harder to navigate the car through the snow, making it somewhat difficult depending where you are driving to accelerate as quickly as you normally would. This is why both of these principles can also apply to my own driving, espeically when it is the winter season.
