Gravity Car Gravitational Energy For Science Fair Project
Gravity car: A gravity car works by transforming the energy harness through a weight By gravity into mechanical energy to move itself forward. How it works a weight is attached to a string passing over a pulley attached to the car. The string is wound around the axel of the wheels. As the weight falls and loses potential energy, The string turns the wheels and the car begins to move. The weight has gravitational potential energy due to its position in the air. When you let go, It falls and that potential energy is transformed into Kinetic energy. The Kinetic energy of the weight and the twine moves the dowel that serves as the axle of the car. This is a transformation of Kinetic energy into mechanical energy, moving the car forward. Friction, a force that resists motion, is present between the string and the dowel, the dowel and the car, the car and the floor. This prevents the complete transfer of energy from one form to another, and is often converted into other forms of energy such as heat or sound (which is really just a vibration disturbance of matter).
