 * THE STUDY OF TOY CARS** **AND HOW LONG THEY CAN GO FOR, AND SPEED VS. TIME**

The purpose of this study was to question the statement of “can the surface that a toy car was going on really affect how far it goes?” Galileo made the first modern description of inertia, which toy cars like the ones in this experiment go off of. A car was pushed, with a fan turned on in the back, and tested to see how far it could go, three times, with four different speeds, one of them being zero. The farthest the car could go was with speed three, at 490 cm. This had probably happened because the extra push from the fan had helped the car along in how far it could go.
 * ABSTRACT**

In these experiments, a major improvement would to be more careful in the planning. Even though each experiment was successful, extra measures could of been taken to enhance the whole experience overall. For example, the experiments could of been planned more thoroughly in the beginning; to think out each variable as it came to be in advance. A future experiment could be to see if the toy car could serve as a boat, and see how far it goes in different liquids, floating. This could serve as the more creative experiment, used to draw the reader of the paper in. Another experiment could be to see if putting the car in different temperatures for the same amount of time would affect how far the car runs.
