the cars I made for my project will go. This illustrates how if the car doesn’t have enough kinetic energy the car won’t go very far. According to my research‚ If work‚ which transfers energy‚ is done on an object by applying a net force‚ the object speeds up and thereby gains kinetic energy(Kinetic Energy) which will make my car go further. This illustrates how if there is more potential energy than kinetic energy the car won’t go nearly as far as it could. According to my research‚ potential energy
