2. White Hat Information of the first car By: Jordy and Shareece
The first car was invented in 1886 by Karl Benz in Germany. He
created a steam engined car that can carry people.
3. The cable car was created in 1899 but started
functioning in the year 1902. This year the Wellington
cable car is celebrating 110 years of service to the
city of Wellington. The cable car was created by
prisoners from the nearby Terrace Gaol, who worked
in shifts around the clock. The recent prices for an adult
are $3.50 one way or $6 to go there and back. The recent
prices for kids are $1 one way or $2 there and back. 100
people can fit in the cable car at one time. The cable car starts
at Lambton Quay and ends at The Botanical Gardens. There is
a motor at the top of the hill that drives the pulley which pulls
the cable up the hill and to the top. It then releases the cable
car which allows it to slide slowly down the hill.
4. Most of NZ cars come from Japan because NZ has no car factories to make any car.
Japan ship our cars over the sea in big container
New Zealand gets the second hand Japanese cars because they are cheaper (Ex)
Toyota New Zealand $6,000 2nd hand cars shipped over from Japan cost $4,000 so
that’s why we get the 2nd hand cars from Japan.
Japan own car factories such as Nissan and Toyota
Cars from Japan have been driven less (low kms) so that they last longer in NZ

5. Wellington Trolley Buses
By Cappy & Kayla
The Trolley bus in Wellington has been apart of the
Wellington public transport system since 1949. The first
Trolleybus route in Wellington operated between 1924 and
1932. The Trolleybus system was improved in 1945, . when
it was decided to gradually to replace the city’s trams with
Trolleybuses. The routes length was 50 KM. Since 1945
there are 9 routes and the operators are GOWELLINGTON.
How trolleybuses are powered:
Trolleybuses are electrical buses that draws it’s electricity
from overhead wires using spring-loaded trolley poles. Two
wires and poles are required to complete the electrical
circuit. If there is a power cut or something like that the
Trolleybus won’t work. If the bus bounces off the wires it
won’t work.
6. Push and pull forces
A force is any influence that causes an object to undergo a certain
change, either concerning its movement, direction or geometrical
construction. It is measured with the SI UNIT with Newton and
represented by the symbol F. In other words a force is that which can
cause an object with mass to change its velocity (velocity means a speed
of an object.) to accelerate, or which can cause a flexible object to
deform. (accelerate mean is the rate of velocity.) Force can also be
described by intuitive concepts such as a push or pull. A force has both
magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity (vector means a
vector is a geometric object that has a magnitude and direction).
7. What are the benefits of the
battery powered car?
future super-cars will most likely be built on
the same platform as the electric Roadster
they go will about 150 mph.

NZ manufacturing of
vehicles
Ford New Zealand began in 1936.
Since the closure of its assembly plant
in Auckland in 1997, all of its product
offerings are fully imported. By Hosea Ford

in NZ? was the
James Alexander Holden

a magazine that come out and talks
about Nz cars.

10. Burt Munro.
Herbert James “ Burt” Munro (25 of March 1899 - 6 of January
1978) was a NZ motorcycle racer, famous for setting an under
1,000 cumbic centimetres and the size of its engine world
record at Bonneville, 26 of august 1967. this record still stands
today. Munro was 68 and was riding a 74–year-old machine
when he set his last record. Done by: Illandra& Britney.
11. What is the fastest car in the
world.
The fastest car in the world is the bugatti Veyron. It’s top
speed is 271 Miles an hour (467 Km and hour) and it can
reach 0-60 in 2.4 SECONDS!!! The Bugatti Veyron cost
around about $ 2,400,000( 2nd most Expensive car in the
world) It was made in France and was made in 2008.

12. What is renewable energy
Renewable energy is a term used to describe energy
that is derived from resources like the sun and the
wind rain and tides and geothermal heat
13. Ford GT40
A 1968 Ford GT40 used to film Steve McQueen in the
1971 racing film Le Mans was bought for 11million
dollars.
McQueen insisted the race scenes in Le Mans be as
cool as possible.
He chose the GT40 as a camera car, cutting off its roof
and installing a seat for the cameraman outside the car,
to film the movie while speeding down the track at 150
miles per hour! The Ford GT40 is a mid-engine two-
seater sports car. 241km is 150 MPH in kmph. The Ford
GT40 runs on petrol and can either be an automatic or a
manual

14. The Maglev (magnetic levitation) train uses magnets to drive
vehicles rather than using mechanical methods, such as
wheels and axles. With maglev a vehicle is lifted a short
distance away from a guide way using magnets to create both
lift and thrust. Maglev vehicles are made to move more
smoothly and quietly and to require less care than wheeled
transport. It is said that non-reliance on friction also means
that its acceleration and deceleration is way better than that of
existing forms of transport. The power needed for levitation is
not a lot of the overall energy use; most of the power is for air
resistance, as with any other high-speed form of transport.
The first Maglev train was made in New york, United states,
1968 the second one in Hamburg, Germany 1979
The third one was made in Birmingham, United Kingdom 1984–1995
Lots of good conditions existed when the link was built such as:
The British Rail Research vehicle was 3 tonnes and extension to the 8 tonne vehicle was easy.
Electrical power was easily available.
The airport and rail buildings were suitable for terminal platforms.
Only one crossing over a public road was required and no steep gradients were involved.
Land was owned by the railway or airport.
Local industries and councils were supportive.
Some government finance was provided and because of sharing work, the cost per
organization was low. This rail way no longer exists
