Rubber Band Powered Vehicle Part A: Introduction a. Theoretical Background The rubber band car is a car powered by a single rubber band. Energy efficiency is the amount of energy that is first stored in an object. The physic’s definition of energy efficiency is very similar. Their term is the linear distance traveled using the energy stored in one rubber band. Energy efficiency is usually found when an object’s energy transfers into a different type of energy. For us to find this‚ we have to
