Application should include explaining the concepts of

• velocity, acceleration, and force
• work, power, and energy
• simple machines.

Application also should include

• solving problems, using the concepts of mechanics
• measuring the robot's velocity, acceleration, and force
• applying various simple machines.

Process/Skill Questions:

• What is the velocity of a robot that travels 10 feet in five seconds?
• What is the formula for calculating gear ratios?
• How much force is required to accelerate a mass of 10 kg at two m/s/s?
