Forces & Interactions

Goal: Design an ambulance to withstand a crash into the block wall.

Contstraints: Students may only add up to 11g of weight to the ambulance frame/wheels/axle.

Patient A survived

Patient B did not survive.

Patient C survived with minor cracks at level 5.

  2. Roll the ambulance down the ramp starting at level 1. If the patient survives a level, continue at the next level (one egg crate higher than the last).

Patient D survived.

Patient E survived.
