How We Use Friction
Friction isnt used too much in our launch until the end, which is when a majority
of the energy is turned into thermal when it hits the ground. The reason the
energy is lost is that as the teck deck slams into the ground it causes extreme
molecular collision in the opposite direction, causing it to slow down. Then as the
projectile slides molecular collision in the opposite direction causes it to slow
down
Why Our Vehicle?
The reason our vehicle should be used is because it is a unique experience for the
passenger. Almost everyone can ride in a car down a ramp, but how many people
can say they got to ride on a slingshot? Our vehicle is also fairly cheap. All of the
materials for the prototype vehicle can be found at home, and the tech decks are
only $12.
