You can attach the mousetrap to the chassis of the mousetrap car, ensuring it is securely fastened in place. Make sure the mousetrap's spring mechanism is aligned with the drive axle to maximize the car's propulsion.
To make a mousetrap Newton scooter, secure a mousetrap to a small wooden chassis. Attach two wheels to the chassis and wind up the mousetrap. When released, the mousetrap's kinetic energy will propel the scooter forward.
An axle hook on a mousetrap car is a small hook or loop attached to the axle, typically made of metal or plastic. It is used to connect the mousetrap mechanism to the axle, allowing the energy stored in the mousetrap to be transferred to the wheels to propel the car forward.
A pulley system for a mousetrap car typically consists of one or more pulleys attached to the chassis of the car. The pulleys are connected by a string or rubber band, with one end attached to the mousetrap's lever arm and the other end attached to the axle of the wheels. When the mousetrap is triggered, the pulley system transfers the mechanical energy from the mousetrap to the wheels, propelling the car forward. The number and size of the pulleys used can affect the mechanical advantage and speed of the car.
To reduce the friction of axles rotating in the chassis of a mousetrap car, you can try using lubricants like graphite or silicone on the axles. Make sure the axle holes in the chassis are drilled accurately to reduce binding, and use smooth materials for the axle construction. Additionally, ensuring proper alignment and spacing of the wheels can help minimize friction.

the smaller the wheel the lesser the weight, the mousetrap car would go faster,
