It slows it down as energy is lost as heat and therefore the dragster has less kinetic energy.

How do you reduce friction on the CO2 dragster model?

To reduce friction on a CO2 dragster model, you can start by making sure all moving parts are well lubricated. Use low friction materials, such as graphite or Teflon coatings, for the wheels and axles. Ensure the wheels are aligned properly and not rubbing against the body of the car. Finally, reduce the weight of the car to decrease the force required for acceleration.


What are forces that cause a CO2 dragster to slow down?

Some forces that cause a CO2 dragster to slow down include air resistance (drag) pushing against the car as it moves forward, friction between the wheels and the surface of the track, and rolling resistance from the wheels interacting with the surface. These forces act in opposition to the forward motion of the car, causing it to decelerate.


What force acts on a parachute of a dragster to slow it down?

Air resistance, also known as drag, acts on the parachute of a dragster to slow it down. As the parachute deploys and opens up, it catches the air and creates a drag force that opposes the motion of the dragster, ultimately helping to slow it down.


What is the difference between skin and fluid friction?

Im doing a CO2 dragster thingy at skool and i cant find the answer. i couldn't actually care less but i have to find out :-)


What is the best shape for a co2 dragster?

The best shape for a CO2 dragster is typically a sleek and aerodynamic design that minimizes air resistance. This could include a streamlined body with a pointed front and gradually tapering tail to reduce drag and increase speed. Experimentation and testing different designs can help determine what shape works best for your specific dragster.

How is model CO2 dragster similar to real dragster?

A model CO2 dragster involves the same principal forces as a real dragster. A model CO2 has mass, thrust, friction and drag, which are also the main components of a real dragster.


Do tires make a difference for a co2 dragster?

yes they do as they have different friction coefficiants
