Writing GCSE coursework in Resistant Materials can be a challenging task for many students.

This
coursework typically involves a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in design
and technology. Here are some reasons why it can be difficult:

1. Complexity of the Subject Matter: Resistant Materials coursework often requires a deep
understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and design principles. The complexity
of these concepts can be overwhelming for some students.
2. Practical Skills Requirement:This type of coursework often involves practical work, such
as creating prototypes or models. Students need to demonstrate hands-on skills, which can be
challenging for those who may not have access to proper tools or resources.
3. Time-Consuming: Designing, creating prototypes, conducting experiments, and writing up
the coursework can be time-consuming. Students need to manage their time effectively to
meet deadlines and ensure the quality of their work.
4. Research and Analysis: Thorough research is crucial for a successful Resistant Materials
coursework. Students need to gather information on materials, existing designs, and
manufacturing processes, and then analyze and apply this knowledge to their own projects.
5. Technical Drawing and Documentation: Technical drawing skills are often required in
Resistant Materials coursework. Creating accurate and detailed technical drawings, along
with proper documentation, adds an additional layer of difficulty.

While facing these challenges, some students may find it beneficial to seek assistance. One option is
to consider professional writing services like ⇒ HelpWriting.net ⇔, which can provide support in
crafting well-researched and high-quality coursework. It's important for students to remember that
seeking help doesn't mean avoiding the learning process but rather ensuring a better understanding of
the subject matter while meeting academic requirements.

However, it's crucial to approach such services cautiously and ensure they align with academic
integrity policies. Students should use external help as a supplement to their own efforts, ensuring
that the final coursework reflects their understanding and efforts in the subject.

bendable material which wraps around the bottom of the car and attaches to the 4x2’s. There would
also be wheels and metal parts for the steering, roll bar, and wheel components. 12 mm plywood
would be used for most of the chassis. I have made a couple of models to test certain things that was
concerned about such as I need to test the structural integrity of the chassis, so I made a card model

to it easier because fast pit stops are necessary in order to do well in the race. This allows the school
to use the Greenpower car as part of the curriculum. Therefore I needed to make it out of steel as
they are much stronger then wood but much heavier. I chose to use a solvent-based paint to protect
the chassis. Lap straps must be able to be fully tightened before shoulder straps and must fully
tighten around the driver’s lap without additional padding in front of the driver. T10.5. Drivers in
low reclined seating positions with a raking angle of less than 45 degrees if the seat has a flat base,
or 30 degrees with a front angle of 15 degrees will require a five or six point safety harness. The
plywood would need to be waterproof, as if the water soaks into the plywood, it could warp the car
and affect the performance. The motor, roll bar and back cross axle are all connected to one piece.
Commercial Catering: Hotels, restaurants, clubs, wine bars and pubs. This vibration needs to be
sustained by the car otherwise it will fall apart after a race or two. Some filing and sanding is also
required to make sure everything fits together. But it does affect the shape and warping of the wood
which can cause problems when fitting and gluing the pieces together. In order to make the car thin
to make it more aerodynamic, the back wheels would need to go behind the driver and the front
wheels need to be tuck right next to the legs. Nathaniel Olson GCSE Resistant Materials Harness
Mounting and Electrics The harness that we are using is a 5 point harness, two above the shoulder,
two next to the hips, one between the legs. My original idea for the drive train was that to have the
motor in front of the battery box but due to limited space, I had to put the motor behind the battery
box. The electric will be almost identical to our school’s car which is simple as it gets, but it will
have a motor controller which would a circuit controlling the solid state relay. The process was that it
would cut 6 mil into the wood and when it has done that for all of the lines, it would then go down

has warped itself as said in the previous point. The reason why there aren’t any plugs or wires is to
improve reliability and reduce the maintenance on the batteries and car between each race. GCSE

Thirdly the motor is neatly tucked away under the seat, which gives up space behind the batteries

that it’s a good shape to support the forces the car can subject to during the race, the hole are there
for making it lighter. This is to ensure that the motor won’t rip through the floor and cause the car to
have a failure. If the seat is flatter, it would improve the aerodynamics, as the driver is lower,
therefore we can make the body lower. The two cross axles (supplied by ICE) would be attached to
the two posts via block of wood attached to posts. The main point that he was trying to make is that
the aerodynamics is vital and making a light car is although important, but it doesn’t affect the car in
the way that aerodynamics does. It’s a good, neat place to put it, but the motor can get very hot
while driving and the lack of air flow would burn out the motor. Also there would be one end of
another trackrod attached to the kingpost of the one wheel and the handle that is on the same side
and would be the same for the other side. The batteries are behind the driver as it’s most

thrown into a bin and sent off to an incinerator. This brace should attach to the chassis of the vehicle
at one end, to not more than 200mm from the top of the roll bar at the other, and must be capable of

which can cause problems when fitting and gluing the pieces together. It isn’t as sustainable as I
hope it would be as I have used a solvent-based paint which renders the most of the car useless for
recycling, but however by using a tough, durable paint, the car shouldn’t need to be repaired or
replaced which means it doesn’t use up anymore of the environment after it has been made. This
didn’t do me any favour as I then had to make the hole bigger so the slot can go in. All of the metal
parts will be standard carbon steel. Finally there are PowerPoints that go through the 2014 exam
paper giving model answers to help students gain maximum marks when they come to sit the exam
paper. The model needs to be developed a lot more to make sure all of wheels and steering
components will fit into the car without clashing with each other. Also the car needs some wood to

handlebar, the shaft rotates and moves the plate side to side. 2 arms are bolted to the plate and the
ends of each arms will be attached to the wheels. Steering is something that has to be considered

It was two tabs on the bottom of the back bulkhead and a slot for the back of right hand side of the

Batteries must be separated from the driver by a bulkhead, or contained in a rigid, covered,
ventilated box, which must not be able to short circuit battery terminals. This makes it easy to take
them hoe in a normal family car. Then we went back to the car and talked about the gearing and
what would be the best way of setting it up. This is to ensure that the motor won’t rip through the
floor and cause the car to have a failure. Unfortunately this car is very wide and high off the ground
so immediately the car has a big disadvantage. Further down the shaft is a plate that is also welded.

The disadvantages of this arrangement is that the weight distribution is not as good as before as the

safety harness, with secure fixing points on the roll bar or chassis. I am pleased to say that it’s a rock
solid chassis that doesn’t flex or crack. It is also important to keep the weight out of the end of the
car, as it affects the handling (how quickly the car can turn and how easy it is on it’s tyres) and how
the car handles bumps (weight in the ends can cause pitching, which can change the loading on the
wheels) Then he went on about the importance of aerodynamics compared to the importance of

This is my target market; a kit-built car for schools that could campaign a car and make
