Description
As kids, we have always heard the phrase, "*Energy cannot be created nor destroyed*", but the meaning and significance of this has never struck people on a daily basis; that is unless you are a particle physicist. In order to summarize what we learned over the year in Freshman physics, we decided to tackle a simple problem regarding this. We looked at simple 3D printed carts with a battery powered fan, and we began by assuming that the energy supplied by the batteries would be equivalent to the Kinetic Energy of the car; however, we were proven wrong as mathematical data proved otherwise. *Now, the question is,* **where did the energy go?** **The main focus of the project is to apply and understand the design process while at the same time effectively working together with other people to simulate a real-world problem that would require us to analyze data and integrate everything we learned in Freshman physics into a single car that can barely fit in a box** *How does the car work?* The car works by having a fan propel it forward, and the car itself has wheels attached to the *chassis* (frame of the car), which allows the car to roll. We accommodated for these attachments by having special design constraints that allowed us to attach the extra pieces needed easily.
