## Resource

Learn the fundamental physics of motion, how engines transfer energy, and the mechanics of aerodynamics in this fast-paced episode. Listen as Emma, Dr. Owl, and Ziggy investigate a listener's question about the hidden systems that make vehicles drive, why engines desperately need oil to fight friction, and the clever design secrets that make race cars incredibly fast. Plus, find out why Ziggy's plan to use peanut butter to fix a squeak might be a hilarious disaster!
