 * THE STUDY OF THE PUSH N GO CART **

The purpose of these experiments was to find out how a Push N Go cart works the best. There are many things that allow the Push N Go to function like the spring, friction, potential energy and kinetic energy. For the experiment, the head on the Push N Go was pushed down three times for each of five different surfaces and let go to determine the distance. The results show that the Push N Go traveled the farthest distance on a tile floor with the measurement of 294 cm and the shortest distance on the grass with 46 cm. The results occurred because the tile had the closest to the right amount of friction, the Push N Go was able to move and the Push N Go was able to get a good speed.
 * ABSTRACT **

In all of the experiments, the distance was measured. Sometimes the car would be angled a little bit so it would travel a little bit different then the way the meter sticks were placed so in the experiment the meter sticks could be placed down after the car traveled. A future experiment that could be done is materials can be put around the wheels to see which one would allow the Push N Go cart to go the farthest.
