Alternative Energy Vehicle

Alternative Energy Vehicle Presentation

Hyanduai recently annouced a propsal for engineers to sumbit a alternative energy driven vechile. Our was driven by rubberbands and jam cans as our tires, and for that we called it The Jam Tram. Our car was very affordable and enviormental friendly.

In the graph, energy of our car, it shows the increase and decrease of our energy. While our total energy is constant we can see our PE decreasing every second and our KE rising and and slowly decayed each second the car moves. To find kinetic energy we found the velocity of the car at each meter. Our source of energy came from the rubberbands which was 0.95J. The thermal energy was constantly increasing as the friction slowed down. 55% of our PE converted into KE. As you can see on our Time and Distance graph we can see it constantly increasing. For our Time and Velocity we see that it increased then slowly started declining, the car sped at the first meter then slowly slowing down before it reached 5 meters.

Fire Away/ Alternate Energy Vehicle Reflection

Our task for our fire away was to launch a projectile as far we can even though it wasn't really necessary. For our Alternate Energy Vehicles we had to make a vehicle that stopped exactly at 5 m. I felt my group and I worked together to make our project the best, for both of these projects we did have to stay with our groups. On this project I realized I should work on collaborating by telling my group idea's I have. I learned that I can be a little quite and reserved sometimes, I know I need to learn on being open and letting people know what I think. I also need to learn to be a independent and and sometimes take the lead in some activities. I felt I needed to also work on communicating with my group and what I thought about certain things. I didn't really think I did good at sharing my ideas and mostly just agreed whatever they wanted to do. I know I need to also work on critical thinking and try working on my own not always relying on the teacher. I think I did my best at being a conscientious learner. I felt I organized and managed time to work on our project and at some point help my groups members whenever they needed me to do something. I felt I never relied on my group members to do all the work. Overall, on my next project I know and will try focusing on working on communicating and collaborating more with my group and I do know that I also some ups with this project working with a really nice group and making the project fun to work on.
