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

Analysis Questions 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

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

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 that the car will travel. Small wheels will

World War 1 Assessment Task 1 Why did Australians enlist in the war (AIF)? Firstly‚ Australian soldiers (or any soldiers in general) enlisted in the war for nationalistic pride in the aftermath of Federation. Australians‚ young men in particular‚ wanted to support their newly-formed country and show "Mother England" that the country could stand on its own two feet. Soldiers in the AIF had many reasons to join in the war and fight Germany‚ one of which being a sense of duty to the Mother country

Company Case. Trap-Ease America: The big cheese mousetraps 1) Martha and the Trap-Ease America investors believe they face a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity. What information do they need to evaluate this opportunity? How do you think the group would write its mission statement? How would you write it? By saying they face a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity I assume that they are talking about the potential for profit and growth. However‚ from this case it doesn’t seem that Martha‚ the president

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

Cheddar cheese is a relatively hard‚ pale-yellow-to-off-white (unless artificially coloured)‚ sometimes "sharp" (i.e.‚ acidic)-tasting‚ natural cheese. Originating in the English village of Cheddar in Somerset‚[1] cheeses of this style are produced beyond this region and in several countries around the world. Cheddar is the most popular type of cheese in the U.K.‚ accounting for 51 percent of the country’s £1.9 billion annual cheese market;[2] it is also the second-most-popular cheese in the U
