A mousetrap powered car is a vehicle that powers up and moves using the spring energy of a loaded mousetrap. Its main components are the mousetrap, a long metal rod and fishing line. To operate the car, the rod was wrapped (wrapped) around fishing line which had one end attached to the drive axle and the other end to the mousetrap arm, which brings the snapper's lever arm closer to the driving axle. When the arms were released, the spring tension detached the string from the axle. As a result, the fishing line frayed, causing the axle and wheels to rotate, pushing the vehicle. There are various forms of energy involved in this machine. First, it started as potential (stored) energy that came from when the mousetrap was set by wrapping the spring around the axle by rotating the wheels, which caused the snapper's lever arm to move closer to the The drive axle and the spring in the center were compressed. Since every action has an equal and opposite reaction, when the trap was released, most of the potential energy converted to kinetic energy (motion), pushing the snapper's arm forward. However, not all of the energy was converted into kinetic energy, as some of it was lost due to frictional force. The friction helped turn the wheels and move the car forward because when the string was pulled, the friction between it and the axle caused the axle to rotate. Additionally, external frictional forces caused the car to slow down and eventually stop. Since energy cannot be destroyed, when the car stops, friction is converted into heat and heat energy. It is essential to collect basic data to measure how much change and modification...... of paper ......ao I wanted to test or try something, I was given the opportunity to do so. It was decided that everyone should participate equally, which was done through the division of tasks, depending on each person's experience and knowledge in that specific field. For example, someone may have been tasked with assembling the parts by gluing while another may have nailed in a screw. In the beginning, and even during the assembly of the car, it was difficult to know exactly what order of steps were needed to achieve something (for example, how to successfully nail the screw into the piece of wood), but it was much easier to overcome these issues while everyone remained calm and engaged in discussions; this meant that everyone had to take responsibility for their own learning by thinking more critically and suggesting ideas or methods of improvement with full honesty.
