Rocket Car Acceleration

Our assignment was to create a rocket car using a hot wheel car and a model rocket motor. The best cars for this project are going to be hot wheels that are school busses, ambiences, and vans. The goal was to have our Rocket Cars travel a distance of four meters and then figure out the speed, average speed, acceleration per meter, and  velocity.

Materials Needed

·        Hot wheel car (our cars weight was 61.9 grams)
