Describe this motion. Use as much detail as possible.
Going for speed!
• Top speed of a running human?
Quick History of Motion!
• Top speed of a running human?
24 km/h (for brief period)
Model T Ford
1909 Model T Ford - top speed of????
Model T Ford
1909 Model T Ford - top speed of………….70 km/h
And this was considered frightening!!
Breaking the Sound Barrier
US Marine Fighter Jets 2004
How fast is that?
Breaking the Sound Barrier
More than 1188 km/h !!
How fast is that?
Thrust SSC
• British supersonic car • Forced forward by 2 jet engines

Interesting Facts
•Thrust SSC used 55L / km travelled vs. common car uses 0.07 L/km• Solar car uses no gasoline.
Why did we do this?
• The big idea is that technology of moving has social an environmental impacts – both positive and negative
