This is because, since all of the potential energy was converted into kinetic energy and the kinetic energy has yet to be fully converted into thermal energy, the velocity of the mousetrap car is at its highest. Since thermal energy is not at its maximum at this point, the car wants to move at a constant velocity.…
My Mousetrap vehicle turned out to be pretty good and in great working condition. My ideas of simple machines were put to a test when I did this project. The Vehicle travelled exactly 12 feet as expected. Like everyone my vehicle was also made of wooden pieces and mousetraps. The materials used were : wooden pieces, wheels & axles, and a mousetrap. It took me exactly 10 days to make my vehicle completely and with the help of Mr. Evans, Evans, and Nixon it seemed easy. Firstly I started off with the piece that was provided. I cut of a wooden piece with the width of 2 inches and length of 9 inches . Then I cut of the half of a big axle and made it in half and cut the half to another half. Then I cut off 2 sides of the vehicle with a width of 1.5 inches approx and length of 9 inches, to hold the axles I had to drill two holes on each sides. I made two holes on each sides and glued the side to the body and made sure that they keep strong. I was done with the mousetrap holder, sides and axles, moreover I was done with the body of my vehicle. Now that I was done with all that I glued the mousetrap to the body, then I glued discs of 4.5 inch diameter to my axles acting as wheels. Then I was completely done except for one thing and that is the small metal bar on my mousetrap handle acting as lever, and one more thing I added after the lever was the ropes. I hot glued the last resort of the rope to the middle of the axle and tied the front end to the bar so that when the lever pulls my car will be able to move forward (the rope length was about 12 inches). This is how it was done, it was a great experience.…
You are a manager at Winsome Manufacturing Company, a company that produces plastic storage containers and sells them to the home consumer through home sales events. At the company’s quarterly meeting, the head of marketing described a new product to be introduced in the first quarter of the next fiscal year, approximately nine months from now. The product will be a room-sized plastic storage unit suitable to the outside of the home; it is similar to a competitor’s product but will have significantly more features. This product will open new markets for the sales channel, lay the foundation for add-on products, and generate new revenues. You have only seen preliminary sketches of the potential product but are very excited by the new product.…
Roll test the car on a smooth, horizontal surface. The car should roll freely, and the wheels should spin without restriction. Make adjustments if necessary.…
For our car we decided to make it a rubber band car since that would give it the most mechanical and potential energy. The rubber bands were to act as our potential energy since it stored all the energy as we pulled it back to wind it up. The whole car then would be running on mechanical energy. As the rubber bands unwind, it turns the rear axle of the car which then drives the rear tires to move the car. Miranda made sure to get the car to only go forward by figuring out the right amount over rubber bands and how tight to make them. Another way to not make sure the car went a different direction was to make sure the bands released and didn’t get twisted back up. If they did that would result in a car that went backwards. The tighter we got them the father the car would go. It turned out to be about 4 bands that were tied together. The car was able to go because of the force that was being built up with the bands as they tightened. The back wheels were also put on tight so the car went straight and the axle was secured with glue to the rotating piece of wood. The only force acting on the car were the bands and with the cement ground there was no friction, so the car had a smooth ride. The speed did slow down however after the initial take off but we wanted it to go slower as it approached the wall for the safety of the egg. Overall our project went really well.…
These rides must be propelled in some way. The most common way is through the use of large hills. Using gravity to accelerate the car down the large hills is a way that engineers can make the car from start to finish. This is due to the law of conservation of energy. Energy is transformed from potential to kinetic in these large hills by gravity and that energy is used to navigate the car the length of the track.…
Newton’s second law of physics dictates that acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass of the object, the greater the force needed to put the object in an accelerated motion. This relationship can be viewed in the formula:…
Balloon powered car racer is driven by air coming from a deflating balloon. As an alternative of using electricity, these cars make use of the Law of Action and Reaction (Newton’s Third Law of Motion). The car is propelled forward, as a result of the air coming from an inflated balloon.…
Politics has always been one of the subjects where people use all sorts of different words and styles to convince people that their choices are the right choices. It isn't surprising that one of the easiest places to find deductive arguments and fallacies is during one of the largest broadcasted and viewed political events, the Presidential Debates. In this paper I will point out a deductive argument and a fallacy from each of the three presidential debates and explain what type of argument/ fallacy it is and what clearly makes it so. I will then cover briefly whether or not the candidates make a greater number of valid or fallacious arguments and how these effect the way I see politics.…
Horses have greatly impacted man throughout history. He has helped man plow his fields, harvest his food, drive him to town, and carry his loads. Nowadays, the use of the horse has drastically changed. Although some groups such as the Amish still use horses for field work, logging, and transportation, horses have become companions for man and a source of entertainment.…
We should keep cars, they have been here for so many years. Cars have done a lot of great things to this world. As it states in paragraph 3 Cars let people free, people don’t have to live in the city where your job is, cars also helped the growth off suburbs. Cars have grown to be so much now you have 100 types of cars to pick from way let all that hard work on cars go to waste? Cars do have some things wrong like the population, but nothing is perfect but cars come close! When I’m in my car I love looking out the window and just looking around, see what’s going on. Cars let you open your mind to creativity.…
Once upon a time, in a small clearing in the woods, there lived a mouse. This mouse lived modestly with his wife and his two little tiny baby mice in a small cottage. Inside the cottage was a cozy living room with a warm hearth and two small bedrooms that were painted the color of yellow dandelions on a ripe summer day. They all lived together in that tiny round house, and the two tiny mice would often go out and play in the babbling brook a little way into the woods. There was Papa mouse, who was tall and limber, and as clever as they come. Then there was Mama mouse, short and stout, who had the best jokes in half the animal kingdom and kept the family entertained for days. Lastly, there was little Timmy and Alice. They played all day long,…
Brief: The proposed meeting envisages negotiation between multi parties for setting up an entertainment complex by world’s largest entertainment conglomerate, Mouse Company in Marne-la-Vallee near Paris, France. The National Government recognizes the importance of the project for foreign investment in France and the potential impact on the local economy and wants to move forward with the project. However the local municipalities are worried about the environmental impact the project will have on their local area and the resources need to cope up with expansion of economy. The major issues to be discussed at the proposed meeting include levy of a payroll-based tax, sharing of the tax revenue between four municipalities, levy of annual resource fees on the Mouse Company.…
The story of Jumping Mouse may seem simple at first. But it is far more than just a story about a small rodent. There are so many underlying themes that reflect society, faith, generosity, personal growth, and many other aspects of a person's daily life.…
