CO2 Balsa Wood Dragster Car Project

What is a "trial run" in a dragster race?

• A practice race to test the car

• A trial run is a warm-up lap taken by the audience.
• A trial run is a practice session for spectators.
• A trial run is the final race before the championship.

11. ___________________ (Momen...) – The force that keeps the car moving after it starts.

16. ______________ (Accel...)– How quickly the car speeds up after being launched.

A CO₂ dragster is a small, lightweight racing car powered by a carbon dioxide (CO₂) ___________ (cartr...). When the gas is released, the car moves forward quickly.

What powers the CO₂ dragster car?

• Electric battery
• Solar panels
• Wind turbine
• Compressed carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas

What is the main purpose of aerodynamics in a dragster?

• To improve tire grip on wet surfaces.
• To increase speed without considering stability.
• To enhance fuel efficiency during races.
• To help the car go faster by reducing drag

The wheels reduce __________ (fric...) and help the car move smoothly and quickly on the race track.

What is the chassis of the car?

• The body or frame of the car

• The chassis is the fuel system of the car.
• The chassis is the interior design of the car.
• The chassis is the engine of the car.

Why do dragster cars need a streamlined shape?

• To increase weight for better traction.
• To enhance engine performance only.
• To improve tire grip on the track.
• To reduce air resistance and maximize speed.

What happens when the CO₂ gas is released?

• CO₂ gas is absorbed by plants and promotes growth.
• CO₂ gas is converted into oxygen by the ocean.
• CO₂ gas forms clouds that block sunlight.
• The car moves forward quickly
