ABSTRACT
Adam Amad
This paper will include information about Newton's three laws
of motion, Pollution, Solar cars in Palestine, and mousetrap
cars.
INTRODUCTION
Adam Amad
Century after century, new technology is generated. This
century the 21st century, cars are the main object that people
depend on. Technology made our main object we use for
transporting from a place to another. We use cars day by day
to go to our work, or go where we want to go. Cars run on gas.
Gas is a limited resource, so cars might not exist after several
years. In class, we designed a mouse trap car. We didnt focus
a lot about the speed of the car though the distance.

Mouse trap
Four eye hooks
four balloons
Two pens
Four CDs
Glue
Two tops from pop cans

Procedures:
Procedure was taking directly from the inscrutable website.
1. Pull the front and back out of the pens, making them
hollow plastic cylinders.
2. Cut the top and bottom off on four of the balloons.
3. Assure yourself that the eye hooks fit over the pens
4. Make a hole roughly in the center of one of the pens
5. Push the string into the pen and get it out one of the
sides.
6. Screw the four eyelets into the mouse trap along the
short sides.
7. Insert the front axle (i.e. then pen without the hole/string)
pushing it through either pop tabs (or whatever you've
managed to get).
8. Wrap a balloon around the pen you just put in, trying to
fold it so that it's somewhat wedge-like toward the edge
of the pen.
9. Push the pen with the string into the back eyelets.
10.
Attach the back wheels in the same way
the fronts were done.

11.
Gently turn the back wheels backwards
(if youre unsure of the direction, put it on a surface and
pull it backwards). When it starts to catch, lift the flap
slightly and keep turning until the trap is starting to load.
Discussion:
Car pollution
Ameed Malhees
Every day we know that pollution is caused by multiple
reasons but the name of the pollution that is caused by cars is
named exhausted gas. This type of gas is one of the most
dangerous gasses in the pollution category its more than just
a problem. Its the usage of oil that makes it. Everyone can
stop it by using the electric or solar cars. Its a problem that
causes climate change that kills a lot of people, and the world
daily uses at least 1 trillion barrels of oil if not more.
The composition of this pollution is made out of a lot of
elements, but mostly made out of nitrogen, and water, which
flow in the air which make disasters in the future. There are
also cold vehicles that are called Cold engines which have
steam that is also causing problems by the exhausted gas. The
only thing that everyone can do is stop using oil by stages. So
we can save the environment, and stop problems. I hope that
the future is better, and with no pollution.
Palestinian made solar car
(Ameed Malhees)
It is the first made Palestinian car; it was made in
Hebron literally made out of pieces of scratch. This is a big
accomplishment for our country. Even if it costs $4000, and
even if it's slow, it is a big savior the world. The car will
become a bigger deal. It will have a great speed; it will also
have a roof that saves the car from every damage.
"It was a complicated project and our students
designed and built everything in this car from scratch," says Dr
Zahdi Salhab. This car took months to design not to make. This
car is powered by solar, but it has a battery. This car battery
can be charged with electricity. This car is the first Palestinian
made car in the history.

Laws of Motion:

(Adam Amad)
There are three laws of motion created by Newton, which had been
tested and were all true and correct. Newtons first law has two
parts; the first part is that an object will keep moving in the same
speed, unless an unbalance force acts on it. The second part is that
an object will stay at rest unless an unbalance force acts on it. A car
at means that its not moving in any direction. An unbalanced force
is a force that acts on an object that will make the objects physical
state change.
Newtons second law is that weight equals mass multiplied by
acceleration. Mass's unit is kilo grams, grams, etc. The acceleration
of gravitys unit is always ten meters per second squared. Weights
unit is Newton. Newtons third law of motion is that every action has
an equal and an opposite reaction.

Social Justice:
Adam Amad
Even though cars are very useful in transporting they have an effect
on the environment. Cars are fueled by gas which when a car is
moving it gets the exhausted gas out of it. This exhausted gas
spread through the air of the environment. The exhausted gas
pollutes the air, and makes the air harmful to breath. As the air is
polluted we breathe it and it could cause damages to our longs and
our body, sometimes it could lead to death if the air is polluted too
much. To prevent from polluting the air as much, we could dis allow
private cars and have a buss take them where they need. We can
use cars that runs on electricity, other than cars that run at fuel.
Cars run by electricity dont cause any air pollution, which is a good
way to keep the environment healthy and beautiful.
