Firstly we all had 5 minutes to make changes and modify our car to suit the race. The first race we did was to test which car is the fastest, Miss Richardson is at the bottom of the ramp knealing with her phone on the ground to time us, we went in order of the number of our cars. Next race was the the closest to the green line this time 3 cars go at the same time. Last was the furthest race, everyone had to move out of the way of the way so the car doesn't stop because of them. How was it fair? It was a fair test because we all had the choice of setting the ramp in an angle of our preference also having 5 minutes to modify at the same time and same materials and car.
My 3 Different Modifiactions Of The Car
This is our first modifitcation for the first race. We added clay in front so it has a balanced force with the back and have more gravity acting in front to increase acceleration. Also we made a spoiler out clay to have down force which helps it keep the car on the ground and be stable. Sadly car number 6 won the race having 0.87 seconds but we came close with 1.01 second.
The second was stopping at the green light. We had an idea of adding rubber bands to the car to have friction and slow it down we also kept the clay in front and the spoiler. We are the triumph of the race, we went with number 9 and 10 we came close with number 10 but the second go, number 9 went off the green line.
The third race we did was the furthest, we made a mohawk shaped clay to have aerodynamic and make it go faster and further. We didn't do as good as we did with other races with thid design, we only got
The Results
Our car was good and didn't do as bad as I thougth however it wasn't good enought to win the furthest and fastest. Overall I'm satisfied with the results because we did win on the test of being the closest to the green light.
