Present Your Findings! Write a summary paragraph discussing this experiment and the results. Use the following questions and topics to help guide the content of your paragraph.

Consider the motion of the balloon and its air contents in terms of momentum. In step 1 above, the total momentum of the balloon and its contents was zero. Recall that momentum = mv. Both the balloon and the air inside it had a velocity of zero and therefore the total momentum was zero.
Now think about what happened when the air escaped from the balloon. A certain mass of air accelerated in one direction. In order to keep the total momentum of the system zero, the balloon itself (which has mass) had to accelerate in the opposite direction. Use this scenario to help you explain why the soda can rotates when the water squirts out of the escape holes.

What was your hypothesis concerning the water-filled can? According to your data, do you think your hypothesis was correct? (Be sure to refer to your data when answering this question.)
Summarize any difficulties or problems you had in performing the experiment that might have affected the results. Describe how you might change the procedure to avoid these problems.
Give at least one more example of Newton's third law in everyday life

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?
