Pitsco: Dragster Design Expedition

Front

How many steps is the design process?

5

Front

After you know the problem you want to solve then you need to do which step next? Options: Imagine (Sketch and discuss ideas), Plan ( list materials and write the steps), Reflect (on what went right and wrong then test again)

Which of Newton's three laws state, "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction?"

Back

Third Law of Motion

Front

For the C02 racer, Newton's third law is demonstrated when which of the following happens?
- The racer propelled forward and stopping with it gets to the finish line
- The racer staying at rest
- The action of the CO2 gas propelling forward

Back

The action of the CO2 gas propelling forward

Front

Newton's second law is explained by which of the following concepts? The thrust comes from the C02, The lighter weight of an object the faster it will move, The racer will stop when acted upon by an outside force

Back

The lighter weight of an object the faster it will move

Front

Which of Newton's Law states, "An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."?

Back

Newton's First Law of Motion

Front

The force that moves the racer forward comes is called thrust, where does it come from?

Back

C02 cartridge

Front

What are outside forces that slow a racer down? Rolling Friction, Fluid Friction, Both are possible ways to slow down the racer

Back

Both are possible ways to slow down the racer

Front

Which type of friction is a force that is caused by the tires rotating on a surface?

Back

Rolling

Front

Rolling friction can be increased by increasing this in your design? Weight, More surface area, Both

Back

Both
