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!

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 do you make mousetrap car travel straight?
With great difficulty and lots of swearing! You need to weight the thing down so that it doesnt bounce into the air when the trap goes off. Dont put too much weight on it though or it will be too heavy to move under its own effort. Its trial and error Im afraid!
Is work done if you push a car that has run out of gas?
Yes. The work is being done by whoever is pushing rather then the engine, but work is being done. Any time a force is applied through a distance, work is being done.
Why does a person do no work if he or she pushes against a car that is too heavy to move?
The equation for work is: work = force x displacement or W = Fd Since the car isn't moving, it has a displacement of zero. This therefore means that even though the force applied by the person on the car may be extremely large, the work done will be equal to zero. For example, if the person exerts a force of 15000 N, the equation will look like this: W = Fd W = (15000 N) x (0 m) W = 0 J
Where is the chassis in a mousetrap car?
in the center of the mousetrap car.
What bearings will work better on a mousetrap car and why?

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
Why are smaller wheels better for a mousetrap car?
the smaller the wheel the lesser the weight, the mousetrap car would go faster,
What stops a mousetrap car?
a cat trap car
What is bad for a mousetrap car?
Termites.
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 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.
Who invented the first mousetrap car?
The answer to the question "Who built the first mousetrap car" is James Henry Atkinson. He was a British inventor. It was created in 1847.
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.
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 much does a mousetrap car weigh?
A mousetrap car typically weighs between 100-200 grams, depending on the materials used and the size of the car.
