Team ( Lindley, Michelle, Lahtia)

Aim:
Is to build a design that will travel the longest in distance.

Research:
Video Link

Method:

Image result for sail design

  1. Attach the mast to the trolley.
  2. Attach the boom to the mast.
  3. Cut out the sail.
  4. Attach the sail to the mast and the boom.

Final Design:


Our wind-racer went to a distance of 11 meters in a time of 26 seconds. Using the formula of speed= distance/time I can calculate the speed of my wind racer.

V= d/t
V= 11/26
V= 0.4 m/s
