Propulsion.
A CO2 car decelerates due to factors such as friction with the track surface, air resistance, and rolling resistance from the wheels. These forces act in the opposite direction to the car's motion, causing it to slow down.
Co2 Dragster constraints are the limits or tolorances that your dragster must fall within. Whether it is length of car,width of car, weight of car, length of axles, placement of axles, or any other guideline that must be adhered to when building your car.
To build a Scalextric car, you require a space of about 210 x 140cm, and a track length of 532 cm.
What is the distance used in a CO2 car competition What is the distance used in a CO2 car competition
the co2
Petrol cars produce CO2 as a combustion by-product, so it might be said that whatever the fastest car in the world is the fastest CO2 car. There are no cars powered by CO2 - obviously - as any chemical reaction starting with CO2 needs energy to produce another substance. There might be a car somewhere powered by compressed CO2, but this will stop moving when it runs out of pressure. Consequently the fastest CO2 car is a parked car.
Aerodynamics of the car, the size of the wheels, the weight of the car, and the size of the CO2 cartridge.
Doesn't the driver ( and any passengers ) in the car emit CO2 as well, so you are not comparing like with like.You must compare CO2 from Car, driver and passengers with CO2 emitted by cyclist to be more accurate.You will need to divide the CO2 for car driver and passenger by number of occupants of car to get CO2 per person per journey
Friction acts on all cars the same pretty much, model, rocket or tank. I am assuming this is a model race car though.The three important factors to look at are air resistanceRolling resistance (wheel to track and wheel to axle) I used to use no residue and no smell silicone dry sprayBody to track. How will the body of your car react if it touches the side of the track and can you use a Teflon coating? If not use the dry silicone spray and hope no one notices (it is cheating in most cases)Remember the old Nascar saying "If you ain't cheating, You ain't winning"
Yes, if you're using the co2 car on Earth. All of Newton's laws will affect every moving object on Earth, and your co2 car is no exception.
