Because the axle is moving just as many rotations but since the wheels are bigger it's moving a greater distance. Because it's a big wheel, after all the string is gone, the wheels keep moving, which lets your car coast a longer distance.

Why has the computer changed more than the car?

Actually the computer has changed the car for the better. A car is so much cleaner now and does mind boggling things that was once science fiction in the last century. Cars can have as many as 60 computer modules in them....controlling everthing from engines to rain sensors.


What effect does hacking have on people?

Hacking is to make things better Cracking is to do things illegally. So if you see a better car or a better computer a faster processor is due to the hackers working on them.


What are the Effects of Extra weight in cars?

The effect of extra weight in a car depends on a lot of varibles. Like how much weight, where is displaced and what kind of car. There's a lot of engineering that goes into that kind of question. Too much weight makes a car handle badly and not brake well. Too little weight does the same thing. Race cars displace their weight carefully. They try to get a perfect balance of handling and performance. The rule of thumb is that the less a car weighs, the better the mileage.


How much wood does it take to build a two car garage?

A two car garage could use as much wood as a two car garage could use if a two car garage could use wood? It depends on how big you want it, and how solid you want it to be, and how you're making it. Try this: http://www.freeww.com/garage.html another approach is to find a home center selling "garage packages" and review the parts list of what is included. there are 200,000 parts in a new home, a garage could require at least 100,000 parts, don't try this alone

Will tape cause friction to wheels of a mousetrap car?

Yes, tape can cause friction on the wheels of a mousetrap car, especially if it is not smooth or if there are imperfections in the tape. It is important to use low-friction materials to ensure that the mousetrap car can move smoothly and efficiently.


What are good front wheels for a mousetrap car?

the best wheels for your mousetrap car are CD's because when your car takes off the wheels will spin and send your car into a foward rolling motion also the CD's are light soo it will help you win your science award:)


How does a mousetrap car function?

By transferring the spring energy to the drive wheels.


What are the two types of friction that affect a mousetrap car?

The two types of friction that affect a mousetrap car are rolling friction, which occurs between the wheels and the surface of the ground, and sliding friction, which occurs between the axles and the wheels. Both types of friction can reduce the overall efficiency and speed of the mousetrap car.


What materials needed for a mousetrap car?

duct tape, mousetrap, wheels ( anything), pliers, end hooks, pop bottle ends,


How does the distribution of the weight of the mousetrap car affect the traction of the wheels?

The more weight over the drive wheels, the more traction.


Why do you put balloons on the wheels of a mousetrap car?

Adding balloons to the wheels of a mousetrap car can help increase traction and reduce slippage when the car is moving forward. This can lead to improved efficiency and speed of the car by allowing more energy to be transferred from the mouse trap to the wheels.


How do you make a mousetrap car go far?
