CO2 Dragster Design Study Guide
Force- is a push or pull when energy is applied to an object.
Friction- is another enemy of acceleration and speed.
Rolling friction- occurs when one surface roles over another.
Sliding friction- occurs when one surface slides over another.
Fluid friction- occurs when an object moves through a fluid, such as air or water.
Drag- is the force of air on a moving object; it has 2 components; what are they?
Frontal pressure and Rear Suction
Aerodynamics- the study of how solid objects displace fluid air and other gases.
Wind Tunnel- is the machine that calculates the drag of our dragsters.
Newton’s First Law of Motion- Inertia Law- a property of matter by which it remains at
rest or in uniform motion unless that state is changed by some external force.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion- also known as f= ma. Thus, heavier objects require
more effort to move at the same speed or distance as a lighter object.
Newton’s Third Law of Motion- states that for every action (or force) there is an equal
reaction (or opposing force) in the opposite direction.
Engineering Design Process- linear process by which we constructed our dragster.
Specifications- are a given set of rules or limits you used to design your dragster.
What elements stand out when talking about designing a successful dragster?
Weight, Friction (Fluid, Rolling), Specifications, Appearance
