Calculations

 Spring Potential Energy - this his how much energy the spring that powered or car had stored up before we released it. Are car had a potential energy of 0.6 joules.

Gravitational Potential Energy - This is how much energy something that is going down will have stored up.

 Kinetic Energy - the amount of energy the car has as it moving. Our car had a max KE of 0.5 joules.

Total Energy - this is the amount of energy total that the car had. Our car had a total energy of 0.6 joules.

 of Thermal Energy - the amount of heat energy the car generates. Our car generated 0.6 joules of heat energy.

Distance vs. Time - this refers to ho far the car went over what period of time. Our car went 5 meters in 4.25 seconds.

Velocity vs. Time - this refers to how fast the car went over a period of time. Our car had an max velocity of 2 m/s.

Reflection

Over the course of this project I was a leader in the group. I told everyone what needed to be done, and I did my part of the work. I was successful in coming up with a very efficient and sleek design for our car and it turned out great. It went 5 meters almost every time. Something that I could of done better would be holding my group more accountable for not doing their share of the project. I should have pushed them more to stay on task instead of talking. I also want to stop procrastinating when having to do equations, and instead just get them done.
