200
What will happen if you tie the rubber band to the front axle?
Nothing b/c the axle doesn't rotate
200
If your vehicle weighs more then do you need more or less weight to pull it?
More weight is needed to pull the vehicle
300
What is motion or mechanical energy made up of?
Potential Energy+ Kinetic Energy
300
Why does the vehicle move backwards when you wrap it from under the back axle?
Because when you wind it the axle it winding forward. When you release it it will unwind, making the vehicle move backwards.
300

About 7 and a half wraps
400
How will the energy change when the vehicle slams into the bookend?
It will transfer the kinetic energy to the bookend which will make the bookend move and the vehicle slow down
500
What is the definition of force?
Strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement.
500
What happens when the rubber band is released in terms of energy.
When the rubber band is released, the potential energy is quickly converted to kinetic (motion) energy.
500
