By winding the spring on your mousetrap car‚ you store energy in the spring as potential energy. This stored potential energy will convert energy into kinetic energy as the mouse-trap car begins to move. But there is friction and in order to overcome friction you have to do more work. Friction converts energy into heat and sound which takes away energy from your motion‚ causing the car to stop as its energy is turned into other forms. When designing a mousetrap car‚ there are two variables that

improvement for your car? Explain how it could have been made better so that the car could have performed better. During its test‚ my mousetrap car curved to the right causing it to crash into a wall and stop short of its full potential. However‚ the car still traveled the the entirety of the 11 meters required for the maximum number of points. The reasons that my mousetrap car functioned as well as it did were: (1) the light and thin CD’s that I used as wheels minimized the friction between the car and

Shyanne Vaden Mousetrap Questions What are the two ways that friction affected the performance of your vehicle? Friction affected my vehicle by either not pushing it far enough‚ or pushing it very far. The friction of the ground would also stop my vehicle from going farther then it could’ve. My car also needed a bit of momentum to start so the friction did not help my care move at all. What problems related to friction did you encounter and how did you solve them? The friction did not

made of common and inexpensive materials. The design of the cars will consist of simple wheel and axel setups and a lever; two simple machines that can be used to cause forward movement. The means of propulsion for our cars will be spring-loaded mousetrap with a length of string that connects to the axel supporting the wheels being tested. As the trap is set the lever will pull the line and thus rotate the axel causing movement. The size of the wheel should have a direct relationship with the distance

consumes and destroys not only Hamlet’s targets‚ but also the innocent. Hamlet seeked revenge on Claudius but ended up killing Ophelia and Polonius along the way. Hamlet was set on getting revenge on Claudius in the beginning. He had a showing of ‘Mousetrap’ to see if Claudius had a reaction. After the play‚ he was speaking with his mother and thought that Claudius had come into the room. Hamlet grabbed his sword and killed Polonius. Hamlet let his desire to get revenge get in the way of seeing what

The Mousetrap Race Car Project demonstrated an individual(s) potential of a skill to manufacture the most capable mousetrap car with the use of levers and pulleys; so that they willingly categorize their car for the primary usage for SPEED‚ DISTANCE‚ and STRENGTH. Some may try to make all the aspects into one design. The problem that I identified was using the least materials‚ most materials for success‚ and parts for wheels and axles. This stresses the success that the manufactured car will have

Basically the mousetrap cars work by winding a string around the axle‚ the mouse trap’s spring is stretched which stores all of your energy. When you release it your car will hopefully move. I want to focus on how far it goes so I will be using some different materials. There are multiple ways to get your mousetrap car to go a further distance. First you would need to make sure your back wheels are bigger since they are more important because it helps the car impulse farther. You should also try
