Pendulum Project Challenges and Concepts

The video tutorial covers a project where students use Legos to build a car, exploring concepts of potential and kinetic energy through a pendulum. Students discuss challenges in finding parts and how teamwork and technology, like iPads and the Autodesk Inventor app, aid in the building process. The tutorial emphasizes collaboration, problem-solving, and the application of energy concepts in a practical project.

What are the tires made of in the project?

• Legos

• Wood

• Plastic

• Metal

When is the potential energy of the pendulum at its maximum?

• In the middle

• At the top

• At the bottom

• When stationary

What happens when the pendulum is released from the top?

• It uses kinetic energy

• It gains potential energy

• It loses energy

• It stays still

Why is it important to understand the energy of the car?

• To improve design

• To connect it to the pendulum

• To reduce cost

• To make it faster

What is the main challenge faced when finding parts?

• Parts are not labeled

• Parts are too small

• Parts are scattered

• Parts are broken

How do iPads assist in the building process?

• By providing video tutorials

• By showing part locations

• By offering design templates

• By connecting to the internet

What is the purpose of the Autodesk Inventor app in the project?

• To calculate energy efficiency

• To provide step-by-step building instructions

• To simulate car races

• To design new parts

What was the most frustrating part of the building process?

• Communicating with team

• Constructing the pendulum

• Using the app

• Finding parts

How did the team overcome the frustration with the pendulum?

• By skipping the step

• By working together

• By asking the teacher

• By watching tutorials

What is the benefit of working together on the project?

• More ideas

• Faster completion

• Less mistakes

• Easier to build
