Hovercraft

A) Riding the hover craft feels very different. It is fun because you can tell that you are being suspended in mid-air. If someone hasn’t tried it, I would recommend to hold on tight at the beginning and end. The start and stop can be abrupt and you can feel unstable. Riding a skateboard or sled is much different from riding a hovercraft because you do not feel the traction on the group as you would with the wheels on a skateboard or the flat surface of a sled. 

B) I learnt that inertia is present when riding the hovercraft. During that 2nd phase, gliding, you can experience inertia as you continue to move without a net force. Net force is present in the beginning and end of the hovercraft ride. You need a push to both start and stop. Equilibrium is found during the 2nd phase where the hovercraft is gliding again. 

C) Acceleration depends on the force applied to an object.

D) Constant velocity can be found during the 2nd phase.

E) Some members who had a bigger mass than others were more difficult to start and stop.
