Physics of car racing

What I tried today-why I tried it

The car went far but then it did a 360 turn on faced backwards.
What I will try next time?
I will try to research some more then just trying to do it.
What research did I do?
I did some research on how to modify the toy car.

The Physics Of Car Racing

1.What has been done to make this a 'fair test'

• They all have to drive forward.
• We all have a selection of choice of what materials we want on the car.
• All the cars are the exact same.

2.What forces are needed to make the car go faster and how have you modified your car accordingly?
Gravity and thrust are the forces of the car to make it accelerate to the green line.The lift makes it stay on the ground so it doesn't flip of go off the track.  


3.What forces are needed to make the car stop and what adjustments have you made to try and stop it by the line?
Gravity and drag.We have added more weight onto the back which the gravity keeps it down.The car and the wheels front and back drag makes it go slower.

4.What forces are needed to make the car travel further and what adjustments have you made to achieve this?
We need thrust,gravity and lift to make it go further the thrust helps by pushing it down all the way to the end of the track.

Business through gaming

LO: We are learning to run a profitable business.

What game did you play?

I was learning when I was playing the game I watched how to play this game and I know how to play then I know how to buy properties, save the money.

What I am wondering?
I am wondering about if we could play all of the business games again but with a bit more knowledge.
