    The document summarizes the design testing of a CO2 dragster unit. It records the mass, wheel alignment, wheel spin, wind tunnel drag, and race results of the dragster. The mass was 118g (1156.4 Newtons). Wheel alignment averaged 9.67mm to the right. Front wheel spin averaged 1.053 seconds, back wheel spin averaged 4.083 seconds. Wind tunnel drag was 0.182 and 0.184 Newtons. In the race, the average time was 2.381 seconds at a speed of 9.5 m/s (0.01531 miles/hr), placing 11th out of 16 dragsters.

    CO2 Dragster Unit

    Design Testing

    These results should be in the Solution portion of your design journal


    Weight:
    The heavier a dragster is, the slower it will travel. The weight of the dragster will be the
    most important factor in determining how well it will perform in the real race. Use the
    scale to record the mass of your car to the nearest gram. Convert to Newtons for weight
    Mass: 118g WEIGHT: 1156.4 Newtons

    Wheel Alignment:
    If the wheel alignment of a dragster causes it to veer
    sideways, it will
    create friction between the tires and the track and friction
    between the
    string and the screw eye. Friction will cause the dragster to
    slow. We
    can measure the wheel alignment of dragsters by rolling them
    down a
    short ramp, and measuring how far it veers to the side on a
    one meter
    run.
    WHEEL ALIGNMENT: #1: 5mm #2: 15mm #3: 9mm
    Average: 9.67mm to right
    Wheel spin:
    If the wheels on a dragster are wobbly or if they stick, it will slow the
    dragster down. To measure the wheel spin of a dragster, turn
    it over
    and spin each wheel in turn with your finger. Try to be as
    consistent as possible in the force used to spin the wheel
    Time how long each wheel spins using a stop watch.
    Front Wheels #1: 1.16sec #2: .89sec #3: 1.11sec average
    1.053sec
    Back Wheels #1: 4.55sec #2: 3.60sec #3: 4.10sec average 4.083sec
    Wind Tunnel:
    If the air gets caught on your car as it travels by, your car
    will be
    slowed down. This force is called drag and is measured in
    grams.
    The lower your drag, the less your dragster will be slowed
    down
    by the wind as it travels down the track. Test your dragster in the
    wind tunnel 2 times and record the results below
    DRAG #1: 0.182 Newtons DRAG #2: 0.184 Newtons
