| Description | Students measure and analyze forces that act on vehicles pulling heavy objects while moving at a constant speed on a frictional surface. They study how the cars interact with their environments through forces, and discover which parameters in the design of the cars and environments could be altered to improve vehicles' pulling power. Students measure and analyze forces that act on vehicles pulling heavy objects while moving at a constant speed on a frictional surface.
