inetia and friction
Static friction, which is required to keep the mouse trap car in place before it moves, and kinetic friction, which acts to slow down the movement of the mouse trap car as it rolls along.
The two types of friction affecting mouse trap cars are rolling friction, which occurs when the wheels of the car are in contact with the surface, and sliding friction, which occurs between the moving parts of the car, such as the axles and the mousetrap mechanism. These frictional forces can affect the efficiency and speed of the mouse trap car.
Potential energy in a mouse trap car is stored in the tension of the mousetrap's spring. As the spring is wound or compressed, it gains potential energy due to the stored elastic potential energy. When the trap is released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, propelling the car forward.
the elastic potential energy of the spring on the mouse trap is changed to kinetic energy, causing the car to move. The kinetic energy in turn changes to thermal energy as friction causes the car to come to a halt
The amount of force exerted by a mouse trap is typically around 3 to 4 pounds.
sing like Micheal Jackson and Elvis and you
you dont
It is better to use small trap cars as the larger ones can prevent no use to trapping a mouse the small traps are much quicker to get the mouse/rats.
the farthest mouse trap car that i could find was 111 meters which is about 364 feet.
The best way to build a mouse trap car is to add four wheels to a peace of wood and add a mouse trap
It's the body of the car, yo.

CD's make good wheels for a mouse trap car. They provide little friction and the large diameter will help you get the most distance.
A mouse trap car that will successfully travel a long distance is one that has a long bar connected to the arm of the trap. This works because it makes is possible to have it accelerate longer.
you simply do what ever you want
Fricton!!
