CO2 Car Lab

Problem:

Find the mass, time, distance, velocity, momentum, force, kinetic energy, and work of the

car.

Materials:

CO2 Car

Cartridges

Fishing Line Track

Procedure:

1. Pull the fishing line through the metal hooks under the car.

2. Hook the end of the fishing line to the hook of the track.

3. Put the cartridge in the car.

4. Put the end of the cartridges in the cartridge openers.

5. Turn off the safety and push down on the lever.

6. Once the car race is over, push your car all the way back to where it began and then

unhook and pull the fishing line through the hooks under the car.

Mass m/1000 22.5/1000 0.0225 kilogram

Time ----------- ----------- 1 second

Distance ----------- ----------- 12 meter

Velocity v=d/t 12/1 12 m/s

Momentum p=mv 12/1 0.27 kg*m/s

Force Ft=mv F(1)=0.0225*12 0.27 Newtons

Kinetic Energy K.E.=1/2mv^2 *0.27(12)^2 18 Joules

Work w=Fd 0.27*12 3.24 J

Conclusion:

If the car is lighter, it helps with how fast the car moves. Making sure its not too thin

also helps. When looking for certain specifications, it helps with finding other ones and makes

the work easier and faster.
