Improve+on+Motion+Technology

It is important that you know how to solve problems the best (and fastest) way for high school science. Remember: speed is not the goal (when you learn how to do it __the correct way__), you'll get faster.
 * ===Starting Link:===
 * [|Bugatti Veyron] (and some information about 'motion', too)
 * Questions:
 * The Bugatti Veyron is 'designed' for speed. List __any three (3) ways__ that this is done, and explain how these improvements make the car faster.
 * Convert the Veyron's top speed (407 km/h) into m/s
 * How much time (in seconds) would the Veyron take to travel from Spiritwood to Witchekan Lake (35 km). Convert km to m first.
 * Most people bicycle at a speed of 24.14 km/h. Convert this to m/s, and find out how many seconds it would take to go from Spiritwood to Witchekan Lake.


 * ===Assignment:===
 * A __technology__ is anything that uses science to make life easier, or to make a product to sell. Your assignment, after viewing the Bugatti Veyron (and answering the questions), is to take ANY TECHNOLOGY, and 'improve it to make it faster'. This means you'll need to:
 * show the science behind the technology
 * show how your improvements can improve it
 * present your results to the class
 * This shouldn't take very long. PowerPoint presentations (or PhotoStory shows) of around 10 slides should be about right.
 * Technologies (you can add to this list):
 * cars
 * trucks
 * ice skates
 * roller blades
 * sailboats
 * race cars
 * space shuttles
 * etc
 * etc
 * etc
 * Marks: /20 for the research, /5 for the in-class presentation (since it's our first one in a while)
