Pika asked:


I have a scool milk container. How would I create a car? My teacher will have a box fan in the back to blow, but that will be the only energy pushing the car. The car must have a axile, its own wheels, it can’t be sitting on top of another car. What can I do?

salondon asked:


The noise is tempremental, some journeys, there isnt a noise and other journeys the noise is there! Its coming from the bottom of my car, i think its the wheels, as it sounds like a rotating squeeky noise while im driving, fast or slow.

The car is MK 5 VW Golf, i had the cambelt changed couple of weeks ago, can this be related?

I know gravity is affecting it… xD

but how can the car continue to go faster when the engine is remaining the same speed? Same with coasting, why doesn’t the engine have to continue maintain it’s rpm?

thanks in advance & cheers m8s :D Im not talking about gravity. im talking about what allows the wheels to outpace the rpm. Is it a specific part?

Hmm… asked:


I have no idea what the answer to this would be. Inertia is restistence to change in motion, but I don’t understand how my small car made out of index cards and film caps for wheels would exhibit this.

I was just playing with a toy car of mine. The wheels don’t turn on the car, but whenever I pushed it across the kitchen counter, it also turned to the left or the right. Why doesn’t it ever go straight?
