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.
Potential energy. An example of potential energy is a charged mouse trap. An example of kinetic energy is the mouse trap being sprung. Potential energy can be thought of as "stored kinetic energy". And kinetic energy can be thought of as "released potential energy"
A standard mousetrap works first by luring the mouse with peanut butter or cheese. When a mouse smells the food that is located in the mousetrap and comes to take a bite, the trap snaps and traps the mouse suffocating it and squishing it to death.
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
A mousetrap car uses mechanical energy stored in the spring of the mousetrap. When the trap is released, the spring unwinds, converting the mechanical energy into kinetic energy that propels the car forward.
The amount of force exerted by a mouse trap is typically around 3 to 4 pounds.

You might have to research these types of energies in particular. But, basically a mouse trap car uses:-Potential energy-Kinetic energy-sound energy-Mechanical Energy
When you pull back the spring.Mouse trap in its non-set state has zero potential energy. When you pull back the spring to set the trap you are storing the energy it took you to set the trap into the spring.
yes, it's "potential energy" your body can use. another example of potential energy vrs kinetic energy: A car made from a mouse trap, you have full potential energy when the trap is pulled back the potential energy decreases as the trap release and doesn't exist once the trap is back in its original place, although the kinetic energy keeps increasing. or: When your at the top of a toboggan hill you have full potential energy. when your going down the hill that potential energy is decreasing as your kinetic energy increases.
Yes a mouse trap is a lever

you dont
Chemical energy is another form of stored or potential energy.It is stored in food,fuels and batteries,and is released as other forms of energy during chemical reactions.Green plants trap the light energy from the Sun and convert it into chemical energy during photosynthesis.Other foems of energy are sometimes converted into chemical energy before they are save for future use.
Yes, a mouse trap can hurt a cat if it accidentally triggers the trap.
