1. Suggest how its design will help it to achieve this. Bloodhound SCC will attempt to beat the World Land Speed Record in 2011. It will hopefully reach 1 000 mph. KS3 starter © Snapshot Science, 2010

2. Bloodhound SCC will attempt to beat the World Land Speed Record in 2011. It will hopefully reach 1 000 mph. The car is accelerating. Make a sketch and draw on labelled arrows for all forward and back forces. Draw an arrow to represent the resultant force GCSE starter © Snapshot Science, 2010

3. How fast an object accelerates depends on: Its mass (high mass = low acceleration) Its resultant forward force (high force = high acceleration) Acceleration = Force / Mass Force = Mass x Acceleration F M A GCSE Activity © Snapshot Science, 2010

4. Bloodhound SSC will accelerate very quickly (0 -1000 mph in 42 seconds) What features will enable it to do this? Streamlined to give less air resistance so resultant forward force is high Solid aluminium tyres with little tread means less friction. Large thrust (forward force) from powerful engines Mass kept as low as possible (made out of low density metals aluminium and titanium and carbon filament) GCSE Activity © Snapshot Science, 2010
