How was energy conserved during mouse trap car races?
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
Name two kinds of friction affecting the mouse trap car?
The wheels on the ground create friction
How does a mousetrap car use potential energy?
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.
Does mousetrap placement matter for ditance?
yes it does b/c [because] as long as the mouse trap car is that goes as much the speed goes
What class of lever is a mouse trap car?
Third class. Because they are good for speed and longer movements and are arranged: FEL; Flucrum - Effort - Load. Other examples include brooms, fishing poles, and even your knees. On the mouse trap car the fulcrum is the bar that the spring is wound upon. The effort is the pressure on the snapper's lever arm that comes from the spring unwinding, and the load is at the end of the lever arm where the string is attached, the string that gets wound around the main axle and causes the wheels to turn when the spring is released.

Why do you put CD's on a mouse trap car?
CD's make good wheels for a mouse trap car. They provide little friction and the large diameter will help you get the most distance.
How would one describe a mouse trap car?
A mouse trap car that will successfully travel a long distance is one that has a long bar connected to the arm of the trap. This works because it makes is possible to have it accelerate longer.
