He showed no particular talent for farming (his family's line of work), ... Think about the bumper cars. When you hit another car, you exert a force on that car. That's not the end of it, though. Even if you hit a car that is at rest, that car is also exerting a force on you. These forces are opposite, or moving in...

Dear No Name Entered, There are two major physics actions that occur with bumper cars. One is how they react when they strike another car and the other is how they are powered in the first place. I'm not sure which you are looking for so I will try and give insight to both. Potential means the ability to do work.

Bumper Cars; Bumper cars are small electric cars with large rubber bumpers all around it that are made to be driven and bumped into other bumper cars in a enclosed space. They are powered ... A bumper car has potential energy when it is at rest, the bumper car has a potential to do work when the rider steps on the gas.
