Ultimately one design change will be recommended as the best overall solution to address the component failure. Problem Statement: The component failure that will be analyzed is from a Chaparral race car. Designed for Grand Prix style races, the car utilizes a wing that is mounted to the rear axle of the car. The angle of the wing is adjusted by the driver with a foot pedal. This allows the driver to increase the down force on the rear wheels while turning to increase traction.
What you are looking for is how it rides. You want to start by checking the servo and speed controller. You want to make sure the wheels turn and that you can go forward and reverse. You can check the suspension and handling by making some sharp turns and going over bumps and small jumps. Next you want to see how it runs at high speeds.
Experiment 1: Pressure, Temperature, and Velocity Measurement Objective: The objective of this experiment is to determine the pressure and density of laboratory air, calibrate a pressure transducer and scannivalve, then determine the test section speed as a function of fan speed using three methods of velocity measurement. Equipment: Absolute pressure transducer, digital thermometer, pressure transducer (voltmeter), micromanometer, scannivalve, Pitot tube, low-speed wind tunnel. Part 1: Measurement of Atmospheric Pressure and Density 1. Read the barometer and wind-tunnel thermocouple. 2.
How to drive stick Richard Garcia Lt. Martinez English 121 August 3, 2013 Have you ever gotten into a car with somebody that knows how to drive stick shift and wondered hmm? How do they do it, or how do they make it look so easy? Some people even say it’s easy and anybody can do it which is not true. I am going to instruct you on how drive stick the easy way. When you are learning to drive a stick shift car, you must know where the clutch, brake, gas, emergency brake, and the gear shifter is.
For most purposes Newton's laws of gravity apply, with minor modifications to take the general theory of relativity into account. 2. Inertia - A property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force. 3. Potential Energy - Is the energy stored in an object due to its position in a force field or in a system due to its configuration.
Newton’s laws are also a great example on how physics concepts are involved in making these mousetrap cars. The mousetrap car helps us realize the potential, and kinetic energy it has. They can help us discover either the centripetal motion of the wheels or help find missing variables by using kinematics. Physics concepts relate to mousetrap cars because we can discover the force the mousetrap must have in order for the cars to move. Using equations like F = MA, we can discover how many newtons (N) the mousetrap needs in order for the car to be moving at that rate.
There are several sorts of catapult launches; however, they all basically do the same thing. Instead of dragging the train up a hill to build up potential energy, these systems start the train off by building up a good amount of kinetic energy in a short amount of time. One popular catapult system is the linear-induction motor. This motor uses electromagnets to build two magnetic fields (one on the track
5) How is this data collected? For example, what devices are used (list them)? License scanners so that they can see where the car been, from the police officers and stops they made police agencies,
Paulina Crisostomo Period 3 11/3/08 Motion Graphing Labs Lab 1: straight line motion- Aim- to measure and calculate the speed of an object Key Question- Will the objects go at a constant speed, increase, or decrease in speed? Hypothesis- I think the cars will have a constant speed at each of the distances they travel Materials- electric car, timer and meter stick Procedure- 1. Time the electric car going at a distance of 1 meter twice 2. Time the electric car going at a distance of 2 meters twice 3. time the electric car going at a distance of 3 meters twice 4. calculate the speed of each time you took Inferences- • I think the car will travel at a constant speed for all the distances • I think the car will travel at an angle instead of a straight line • I think that the car will have the same speed for all three distances Observations- • The car seemed to be going at a constant distance for the first meter • the car did not go in a straight line, it curved just like I predicted it would • the car had the same time for distances 2 and 3 • the car had about the same speed for the first meter compared to 2 and 3 • some other cars I watched did not go at a constant speed, but ours did analysis- 1. How does average speed relate to the distance covered and the time taken for travel?
It was a wheel that was under the track and would keep the train coasters from going off track. This was a big step in Roller coaster designing and in Coaster History. Now designers can make steep drops and sharp turns and still have the coaster cars be going at exhilarating speeds. Miller’s “Miller under friction wheel” is still used in almost all roller coasters. He also had his share in making “scream machines”.
