Bumper cars operate by electrically powered small cars with rubber bumpers intended for bumping into each other. Newton's laws of motion apply to bumper cars: 1) Passengers experience jolts from inertia when cars stop abruptly after collisions; 2) Heavier passengers move less than lighter ones given the same force; 3) Equal and opposite forces are exerted between colliding cars. While bumper cars provide fun, repeated jolting could lead to passengers injuring their heads or limbs against the car.

WHAT IS IT? A bumper car is a small electrically operated car with all-around rubber bumpers that is driven in an amusement park enclosure with the intention of bumping into other such cars.
NEWTON'S FIRST LAW Wants to continue
moving due to Inertia
This law applies to bumper cars because you experience a jolt when a bumper car you are riding in collides with another bumper car. This is because, despite the fact that your bumper car has now abruptly stopped, your body's inertia wants it to continue travelling in the direction it was heading with the car.
NEWTON'S SECOND LAW More Mass
will move but not as far as This law applies to bumper cars because lighter passengers experience less mass greater movement than heavier passengers. An object requires more force to be moved the more mass (weight) it has. The bumper cars carrying more mass will never travel as far as the bumper cars carrying less mass following a collision since all bumper cars typically have the same top velocity. Less Mass will move further
NEWTON'S THIRD LAW Equal Magnitude
This law applies to bumper cars in that if you hit someone while driving a bumper car, they will experience a force from you, but at the same time, you will also experience a force of equal magnitude from them.
SOCIETAL IMPACT Positive: Since bumper cars are purely for enjoyment, they are beneficial to society in the sense that you engage in the activity to have fun. They are always found in amusement parks, which pretty much sums up their intended usage and purpose. Negative: When in a bumper car, even if you are wearing a seatbelt, being constantly jerked and jolted might lead someone big or small to strike their head, face, wrists, or legs against parts of the car.
