A bird with a broken wing is bound

Different shapes can affect how far a car can travel based on the how the air flows around it. The question of the experiment is “Does the shape of the roof of the car affect how far a model car can travel?” The hypothesis of the experiment is if the roof’s shape is changed, then it will affect how far the car can travel. The shape of the roof is the independent variable and the distance traveled is the dependent variable. The control variables are the size of the wheels, where is the car is launched
