What could I do for a calculus project that has to do with car racing/driving?

You may want to try Centripedal Force i.e. Turnings and slopes..\n\nBut it has some stuff to do with Physics as well. \n\nAlso you may want to find the maximum and minumum speeds at turnings. Include Frictional Force and try to minimize it using Calculus. \n\nTake Simple Circuits like circles, oval, parabola etc. Then take their equations and use calculus to find area under the curve etc. etc.\n\nWell thatz all comes to my mind for now!! :) BEST OF LUCK..

Practice, prefereably with non brakable objects to represent other cars - cardboard boxes and traffic cones.\nI found it helped to visualise the car from outside but some people think i'm crazy.

You could get a civil or mechanical engineering Forensics book (see below).\n\nMath is commonly used in traffic accident reconstruction.  Examples:\nMomentum and collisions\ndistance, speed, and time\nwork and energy\nmaximum braking distance\nCenters of Mass\nCoefficient of Friction\nCollision dynamics\nImpact analysis\nTrajectory\nAnanlysis of Variance\nSequence of events\n\nI'd say the most interesting of these is the braking distance thing.\nIt is common that accident reconstructionists will calculate braking distance and compare their results to the length of the skid marks left by a car that was stopping fast.  In this way they can determine if the vehicle was speeding or not.

business (profit trends, loss trends...)\n\nmathematics where you try to find instantaneous rates of change, position from a function (calculus)\n\nAnd....I dunno, making roads that bank enough so you don't fly off of them?

Depending on your grade\n1- Determine the points of maximum and minimum values for your function ( using differential calculus)\n2- Determine the points of inflection \n3- Determine the  increasing and decreasing intervals\n4- Determine the  convex and concave intervals\n5- Get the points of intersection with x,y axis\n6- Get more points around the critical points you get\n7- Sketch the curve using all points you get

make a model of a car from the 1920's. They were sooo much different than they are today. Or a building from that time. sorry just a few ideas. Good luck and God bless.

Make the flow in front of your object turbulent by sending something solid right in front of it (like "drafting" in NASCAR) or by putting a rough shape on the object (like dimples on a golf ball).\n\nYou could also heat it up, but that's not very practical in most cases.

im taking AP physics B right now\nand i reccomend trying to make it interesting \nnot just saying the formulas bu relate it to things that people actually do, not saying "doesnt this remind you of relitive motion" but say "you know when ur driving in a car and the other car doesnt seem to be moving" things that people actually do

An alternative method:\nThe times taken by A, B and C to complete one lap around the track would be 10/7, 10/8 and 10/9 mins, respectively. Now we just need the LCM of these three to find out when they will all catch up with each other. \n\nThis turns out to be 10 mins.
