Where can you purchase a mousetrap car kit?
Go to your local harware store, or purchase one online. But it is easy to make one on your own too!
How does a mousetrap car work?
the mouse trap is wound around an axle and when unleased the snapping power of the mouse trap sends it forward. Or, what you do is pull the square like lever down, holding it so it doesn't snap. Then with the little thin long"stick" you just slide it into the small"curved" like rectangle. Then put the car down, hit the mousetrap lightly with a metal rod, and it goes flying!
How long would take for a car to travel 87 kilometers?
How long would it take a car to travel 87 kilometers if it were travelling at 90 kph
A car is traveling down a straight road Which of Newton's laws must be put into effect to cause the car to follow a curve in the road?
The First Law.
What is the purpose of wheels on a mousetrap car?
because the wheel make the mousetrap go forward but without the wheels the mousetrap stays in one place
Where is the chassis in a mousetrap car?
in the center of the mousetrap car.
How does velocity affect a mousetrap car?
Velocity affects a mousetrap car by determining how fast the car can travel. A higher velocity means the car can cover more distance in a shorter amount of time. Factors like tire size, weight distribution, and surface friction can influence the velocity of a mousetrap car.
How does a mouse trap car go straight?
in order for the mousetrap car to go straight, both of the wheels (and its axles) have to be parallel to each other. moreover, the axles must be perpendicular to the body of the mousetrap car. if front wheel is pointing towards left or right, the car will go left or right, respectively.
Where do you put the mousetrap on a mousetrap car?
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.
What is the pulley system for a mousetrap car?
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.
How do you make a mousetrap car go far?
Use Cd's as wheels to make less friction
Where does the mousetrap go on a mousetrap powered car?
you want to place your mousetrap as far away from the back wheels as possible
What is a mousetrap car?
a mousetrap car is a simple machine that can be used in races. it can also help people to gain problem solving skills A mousetrap car, is a group of simple machines used together to use in races. It can be made from recycled items, and can be very cheap depending on the items you use to make your car. I used; Moustrap, CD's, ruberbands, wood plank, nails.
Why are smaller wheels better for a mousetrap car?
the smaller the wheel the lesser the weight, the mousetrap car would go faster,
What is the farthest distance a mousetrap car has gone?
The farthest distance a mousetrap car has gone is approximately 1,650 feet, achieved by a team of students from the University of Nevada, Reno in 2016. Mousetrap cars are powered by the potential energy stored in a wound-up mousetrap, which is converted into kinetic energy to propel the vehicle forward. Factors such as the design of the car, the efficiency of the wheels, and the surface it is traveling on all play a role in determining how far the car can travel.
What stops a mousetrap car?
