This part of a company performs tests to see whether a current design is good.
What is testing?
100
Cars today use this sort of energy - by burning petroleum.
What is chemical energy?
100
Solar panels are made from this common material.
What is silicon or sand (silicon dioxide)?
100
This is another word for friction produced by the air. Faster cars - like Lambroghinis and Bugattis - look sleek because they reduce this.
What is drag?
100
This is the process through which you come up with a lot of ideas really quickly
What is brainstorming?
200
This part of a company explores concepts and comes up with new ideas for products or improvements.
What is research?
200
This is type of energy that reaches the earth from the sun.
What is solar energy (or radiational energy)?
200
Solar panels produce these which can be used to power a motor. Looking for two electrical terms.
What are current and voltage?
200
If two surfaces are touching and you make them rougher, you do this to the friction between them.
What is increase it?
200
This is the word for an idea that you think explains something. It may not be true, but it is worth testing.
What is a theory or hypothesis?
300
This part of the company takes concepts and builds and draws them so that they can be visualized and built.
What is Design?
300
This is the type of energy that a solar panel produces - and that a motor uses.
What is electrical energy?
300
Solar panels produce this type of pollution when used.
What is nothing? :)
300
This is the term for how quickly your velocity is changing.
What is acceleration?
300
These are the reasons why solar power is awesome. Any one is ok.
What are no pollution, useful wherever there is sun and much less complicated than a gasoline car?
400
This part of a company actually builds the car.
What is manufacture?
400
This is the type of energy the sun uses to get its own power.
What is nuclear energy?
400
The power produced by a solar panel varies by these four factors. You must specify two out of the four.
What are time of day, day of year, position on earth, and angle relative to the sun?
400
Friction is good to produce in this part of the car. It keeps the car from losing grip with the road.
What are wheels or tires?
400
This is the force that holds everything to the earth.
What is gravity?
500
This person or group oversees all the other job functions and makes sure everyone is progressing towards a goal.
What is management?
500
This is the energy associated with moving objects - a car, for example.
What is kinetic energy?
500
Solar panels usually produce power by converting this sort of light.
What is visible light?
500
The parts of a car we learned are: the axle, the wheels, the body, the transmission and power source. Name the two parts between which you don't want a lot of friction.
