    Mousetrap Car Final Paper Design Description Our car had four CD wheels that were attached to the axle of the car with CD spacers. We put balloons over the wheels for traction. The body of the car was two pieces of wood that was attached by the mousetrap car sitting on top of both of the pieces of wood. The lever arm is attached to the mousetrap with a piece of string to turn the axle; therefore‚ turning the wheels. Then the body of the car is held in place by four CD spacers on the outside of

    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

    How did your car perform? Explain the aspects of your car that made it function well. What are some areas of 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

    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

    vehicle’s performance. To determine this‚ the distance a car travels when tested with the same propulsion force but different wheel diameter is measured. We expect that there will be an optimum size that should be utilized in order to achieve maximum efficiency. A larger or smaller wheel size should change the distance that the car will travel. The cars we will test will be made of common and inexpensive materials. The design of the cars will consist of simple wheel and axel setups and a lever;

    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

    Trap Car Project GENERAL OBJECTIVE To construct a car powered by a mousetrap. This car works when one end of a string is tied to the arm on the mousetrap and the other end is wound around an axis. By winding the string around the axle the mousetrap’s spring is stretched providing stored energy. As the mousetrap is released it pulls the string off of the axle causing the wheels to turn and making the car move. PROJECT The objective of this project is to design a MOUSETRAP CAR for

    Mouse Trap Car Making a mousetrap car was a process that involved a lot of testing and modifications. Our main problems were finding the right materials to make our mousetrap car lighter but hard enough to perform the job and to get to the design that allowed us to use the energy of the mousetrap in the best way possible to achieve the 15 meters for the long distance category. First‚ we did research about long distance mousetrap cars. We found that there were five elements that we needed for

    Extension Science-Construction Challenge Aim: To design and build a car out of recycled materials that can travel further than 5 meters determined with different front wheel sizes. Hypothesis: Using wheels that are light weight and made of plastic will allow our mousetrap car which is propelled by the force of the mousetrap being set off to travel further than 5 metres. Materials: • Mouse Trap • Screws • Washers • “r” clips • 2x Meccano wheels • 2x CD’s • Small white wheels • Small black wheels

    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
