|
|
In our rubber band experiment, we wound the rubber band around the axle of our vehicles 2 times 4 times and 8 times. When did your vehicle travel the farthest? Why did this happen? |
The more i wound the rubber band, the further the vehicle went because it had more potential energy. |
|
|
Describe two ways you could increase friction when your vehicle moves. |
1. increase the load 2. use a different surface |
|
|
why is it important to make a drawing of your vehicles? |
It is important to make drawings of my vehicle because that way other people can rebuild the vehicle just by looking at the picture. |
