Egg Car Project
By:kolby Casey
My Question
Can I make a car that can go fast a still not break a plastic egg?
Controls: Width:6.5cm, Length:16.5cm, and Mass:40 grams
Background Knowledge
Speed:The distance x the time.
Force:Force=mass x acceleration.
Inertia:It occurs when a object is moving and suddenly stops but the object keeps moving.
Acceleration:The increase in speed.
Friction:A force that occurs when two objects rub together.
Momentum:You go at the same speed you were going.
Potential Energy:Stored energy
Kinetic Energy:Energy of motion
Procededure
First, I made the car out of corks,car wheels,tape, and cardboard.Then, I brought it to school so I could test it during Science.After that, we weighed it and measured the length and width.At the end we raced it 5 times and recorded our data.
Conclusion
My car could support the egg and go far.
