This car design was proven less fuel efficient than the silver car because of the rounded back end and having more drag.
What is the Volkswagen Beetle?
100
This particular force causes cars to be less fuel efficient.
What is drag?
100
This motion occurs at the pitcher's shoulder, hips and on the baseball itself.
What is rotation?
100
A push or a pull
What is force?
100
Pitchers who can throw a baseball 100 MPH or more are known as this.
What are fireballers or flamethrowers?
200
This specific feature in car design helps improve fuel efficiency by allowing the airflow to leave the vehicle without causing much drag.
What is a trunk?
200
A fireball pitcher has the equivalent of 45 pounds of force placed on this particular joint in his body after the ball is released from his hand.
What is elbow?
200
This whole-body motion is used by pitchers in order to get the ball across the plate.
What is a windup?
200
A change in position
What is motion?
200
This famous professional baseball player was the first pitcher to be clocked throwing 100 MPH when playing for the California Angels in 1974.
Who is Nolan Ryan?
300
This specific car feature is used in the design of race cars and some sportier cars. Cars with this specific feature get better fuel efficiency when traveling at high speeds because of the weight it provides in the back for better traction.
What is a spoiler?
300
This force causes resistance on a car as it travels.
What is air flow?
300
This highly complex movement involves the arm, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints.
What is overhand pitching?
300
A force that causes rotation.
What is torque?
300
In order to understand how much force and motion the human arm can take, scientists often have to use this in order to conduct experiments.
What is a cadaver?
400
An airfoil is the classic profile of this.
What is an airplane wing?
400
A pointy football has less of this force as it flies through the air than a round ball or a cardboard box would have.
What is resistance?
400
A baseball pitched at this speed takes less than a half a second to get from the pitcher's hand to the catcher's mitt.
What is 100 MPH or more?
400
Because oil is scarce and it will run out some day, Kai and his grandfather, designers of the Beetle Wings, created an invention whose purpose was this.
What is create a fuel efficient car?
400
The force necessary to move a pitcher's arm at such a fast pace pulls on these two fibrous tissues connecting to bones.
What are tendons and ligaments?
500
A well-designed car has a coefficient drag (Cd) that ranges between these two numbers.
What is .25 and .30?
500
These three forces are the main forces a car goes through when travelling.
What are lift, drag, and resistance?
500
The motion of these three human body parts are key in providing effective speed and force on a baseball pitch.
What are legs, hips and shoulders?
500
This is the study of the motion of gases, especially air, and the movement of objects through the air.
What is aerodynamics?
500
The fastest pitchers reach a peak arm speed of about 7,500 degrees per second, or fast enough to rotate the arm completely (360 degrees), and this many times in one second.
