Wind Racers Experiment

Aim: Is to build a design that will travel the furthest.

Equipment:
- trolley
-cardboard
- tale
- paper
- string
- scissors

Method:
My plan is to start making all the elements I need to create this project. I will start a part of the cardboard that will be rolled up like a tube taped.  It will then taped to the trolley and just to secure it a bit more a string will be running from the top and around the trolley. Then a semi-circle will be formed of the cardboard to tape the top of the paper mast to it. Two holes will be penetrated into the middle of the hole. If possible make another stabilizer with the cardboard for the bottom.

Results:




Our wind racer went a distance of 11 meters in a time of 25 seconds. Using the formula of speed=distance/time I can calculate the speed of my wind racer

v = d/t
   =11 / 25
   = 0.44
