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!
Drum sticks and rulers work great!
A mousetrap car
Go to your local harware store, or purchase one online. But it is easy to make one on your own too!
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!
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.
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

A mousetrap car is a vehicle that uses a mousetrap for its motor power. It was invented to help students develop spatial and problem-solving skills.
work, kinetic energy, potential energy, conservation of engergy
you want to place your mousetrap as far away from the back wheels as possible
the smaller the wheel the lesser the weight, the mousetrap car would go faster,
the farthest a mousetrap car has ever gone is 100000 meaters
a cat trap car
Termites.
because the wheel make the mousetrap go forward but without the wheels the mousetrap stays in one place
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.
