The task of this project was to put the theory about potential energy in to practice. This specific gravity car will be powered by 6Joules of potential energy that will be transfered into kinetic energy. This is done by turning the axle with a mass of 1kg pulled down over a distance of 60cm which results into 6Joules of kinetic energy.
The pulley
The axle with a more thicker end for the start.
ENVE logo's to make it look fast.
The base.
The alloy sticks had to be smaller because the entire gravity car had to fit inside a A4 paper box.
The weight.
Pitstop Crew.
Everything had to fit inside an A4 paper box.
My gravity car reached 20m but it couled go further if this stuped box wasn't in th e hallway.
The second gravity car I made works on potential energy but not coming from a weight but from the
resilience of a mousetrap.

This gravity car reached 15m but it could have gone further as well if it would have gone straight.
