hey yall... me again... well, i ended up making a little formula one car, basically... and its going to start with a ramp (hopefully) and stop with a string... and i had a paper that gave a formula, basically, of how to figure out the length of the string. something with the circumfrence of the...

sweet! I am really liking the string w/ knot thing...oh btw, is there a way to use the spring thing without moving the car out of our 1 meter box?

so the other end of the string would just wind around a spool or some such thing...and at you would just time a not at the distance you want it to stop at?

ohhh...ok. i get it now! thanks :smile:

ok..first, thanks for all the ideas yall, you have no idea how much my team and i appreciate the help say what? no, but we've thought of wood, like one of those little racer cars you make in like 3rd grade...but who knows

no, it just has to fit in the box initially the more precise, the better. the closer we get to the objective mark, the better score/grade. no, the time that counts in the score/grade is how long it takes the car to start, travel, and stop any kind of engine, something requiring a push or...

wow...that sounds like a spiffy idea. but would a group of 3 physics challanged girls be able to do that (i don't want to start and fail and waste time and money..)...?

theres 3 of us... and the only idea we have so far is a rubber band car...lol. correct...but we don't know what distance we have to get the thing to stop at until the day the project is due..crazyness. thank ye!

ok: so i got this project for physics, and we have permission to ask ANNYYYOONNE we want for ideas/help...and well, please help! we have to build a car that can travel a distance of 8-12 meters. it cannot be propelled by human, animal, or commerical propulsion. it must stop automatically. it...
