I would check Doc Fizzix, but its mostly cars, but most of the same concepts could be used for a catapult.
inetia and friction
the elastic potential energy of the spring on the mouse trap is changed to kinetic energy, causing the car to move. The kinetic energy in turn changes to thermal energy as friction causes the car to come to a halt
The wheels on the ground create friction
A standard mousetrap works first by luring the mouse with peanut butter or cheese. When a mouse smells the food that is located in the mousetrap and comes to take a bite, the trap snaps and traps the mouse suffocating it and squishing it to death.
Potential energy. An example of potential energy is a charged mouse trap. An example of kinetic energy is the mouse trap being sprung. Potential energy can be thought of as "stored kinetic energy". And kinetic energy can be thought of as "released potential energy"
First you should know the materials you are allowed to use. Most catapults that are built for school projects use a plastic spoon and a mouse trap. The catapult blueprints can be found on sites at wiki s. now below are the steps to making a good catapult!!!Get all your materials together ( mousetrap, block of wood or shoe box, glue etc....)Draw out a sketch of a catapult.after you draw your sketch you need to start by glueing your mouse trap to a block of wood or a shoe box.put your catapult basket on the mouse trap properly.next you need to put your rubber bands on the catapult basket.now you need to tie your string to its propar place.Thanks alot wiki s,Drew Barber

The plural of mousetrap is mousetraps.
Yes a mouse trap is a lever
you dont
Mouse Trap - game - was created in 1963.

There is a mouse trap called a 'Smart Mouse Trap' and it is in the shape of a house. The mouse runs inside and the door to the house shaped mice catcher simply closes without harming the mouse.
