Pnuematic+cars

The Pnuematic car project


 * Introduction**

Let's consider some of the factors which will make your car go fast:


 * Concepts**
 * **shape - affects the Drag coefficient (see below)**
 * **size and weight - affects the mass and hence the acceleration - Newton's Laws of motion**
 * ** wheel positioning and friction **
 * **style and aesthetics - Hey, it has to look cool!**
 * ** additions - spoilers etc. **
 * **surface drag, thrust - Bernoulli's Equation see here**
 * **wheel alignment - Wheels must be straight and aligned**
 * **length**
 * **and friction....Understanding drag coefficient and the importance of streamlining**
