Wind Powered Car: Part 2 Acceleration Challenge
In part 1 of this investigation, groups were challenged to design for speed and collect data to find the fastest car in the class. Using those designs, part 2 will test the mass of a car vs the power of the motor to find which variable has a greater impact on the acceleration of the car. Data will be collected with the Phyphox app showing acceleration.
