Race Car
Race Car
Students will build a car from any materials with a total mass restriction of 350g (approx. 12ounces) . Your car should be able to compete in a race against cars made by other students. No store bought models, kits may be used. The student should construct the majority of the car using raw materials. The car will travel down a ramp and measured for kinematic and dynamic variables. Keep in mind: weight, gravity, friction, speed, velocity, and momentum.
