What am I
A push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change direction.
Force
The greater the force the faster the vehicle will move.
True
What happened when your group used different amounts of falling weights?
Varies
EX.)Traction on your shoes and tires gripping the road.
A force that acts against or stops motion when two surfaces rub against each other.
Friction
The bigger the load the faster the vehicle will move.
False
Explain the difference between mass and weight.
Mass is the amount of material in an object. Weight is the amount of force gravity exerts on an object.
What is the purpose of the cross bars?
To add stability to the vehicle. Allows the vehicle to go straight.
Energy that is stored.
Potential Energy
True
What is energy?
The ability to do work.
Why do we complete multiple trials?
Varies
Energy that an object has because it is moving.
Kinetic Energy
More winds = further distance
True
Explain useful vs. wasteful friction.
Useful friction is fiction that is good. For example, friction between our shoes and the floor. This friction is useful because it stops us from slipping. Wasteful friction is friction that is there but does not help us in anyway.
True or False: The greater the rubber bands, the greater the potential energy, and the greater the distance.
True
Opposes a vehicle's motion and slows it down. Often referred to as drag.
Air Resistance
The greater the surface area the less air resistance the object will have.
False
What is the purpose of the tan connectors?
Tan connectors reduce friction between the tires and frame.
What should a technical drawing include?
Color, labels, and drawn to scale.
