parallel
two lines that are the same distance apart along their whole length and do not touch at any point.
chassis
the supporting frame or body of a structure (car)
axle
is the moving mechanism thst connects a pair of wheels to propel them and retain the position of the wheels to one another
kinetic energy
is the energy an object has because of its motion however it also depends its mass
potential energy
is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position
friction
the force resisting the relative motion on solid surfaces
force
is a push or pull that can make an object move or turn around
motion
an act or process of moving
work
measure of energy transfer
propulsion force
the generation of force from pushing or pulling that modifies the motion of an object
gravitational force
the force due to pull of gravity, it causes motion in the body downwards
elastic potential energy
occurs when the elastic is compressed, stressed or deformed in any manner, creating potential energy
