This physics project, entitled Septa Surfing will explain to the viewer why they move the way they do on public transportation devices. Referring to Newton's laws we will explain the actions and reactions of force, acceleration and inertia when different types of public transportation accelerate and negatively accelerate (slow down). We will demonstrate how friction plays a role in the movement of passengers on transit devices along with force. Our video's will demonstrate the affect of force on passengers, while we will explain what causes the movements from the video in detail on the "video explanations" page of the website. Feel free to examine the website and enjoy Newton's laws of motion in action.
