Slows it down
It is depended on the shape of the wheels to determine how much friction is applied.
A mousetrap car is a vehicle that uses a mousetrap for its motor power. It was invented to help students develop spatial and problem-solving skills.
simple answer: no. real answer: assume that it does not, then, the friction of the wheels against the ground will not exist, leaving your car to spin its wheels quite happly without going anywhere. on second thought, your wheels would probablly not be spinning either way as to power said conventional "mouse trap car" one would generally use a string wound around the rear or frontal axis. without said friction, said string would not attach to said axis. basically, you fail, at life and beyond. As observations contradict this thought experiment, the assumed lack of friction cannot exist. Thus, friction acts upon mousetrap cars and upon your thick skull as information is shoved upon it.

use aluminum axels and create large enough holes for the whelles to spin. Watch out for the rough edges in the hole.
surface friction and sliding friction
yes
Slows it down
friction, air resistance and gravity
Use Cd's as wheels to make less friction
in the center of the mousetrap car.
potential and kenitic energy and mecanical and hooke's law
Friction will slow it down
it affects it by the contact with the car

you want to place your mousetrap as far away from the back wheels as possible
