A button, wood would be best, the only drawback is that one would have to make the holes for the thread larger so you could fit the axel in. CD's are probably the least expensive, and easiest to use. Plus, if you have to make a modification to your car, you can just buy smaller or larger CD's!
CDs make good wheels,
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.
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.
The wheel is used to make traveling easier. Wheels are also used so that items can be transport easier. Wheels are also a part of machines.
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.
No, a mousetrap is not a wedge. A mousetrap is a mechanical device designed to catch mice by trapping them. A wedge is a simple machine used to split objects apart or hold them in place.
It depends on whether you are referring to a light or a heavy mousetrap.
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.
Sprockets are a kind of wheels that have teeth to keep a chain in place an moving from the action made by another sprocket. Sprocket wheels are used for bikes and on roller chains.
Big sized ones for example vinyl records or if u don't have those use Cd's.
The variables for a mouse trap car could include factors such as the weight of the vehicle, the size of the wheels, the type of propulsion system used (rubber band, mousetrap spring), and the surface friction of the wheels on the ground. Each of these variables can affect the performance and efficiency of the mouse trap car.
A mousetrap car typically weighs between 100-200 grams, depending on the materials used and the size of the car.
