Mouse Trap Car Research Paper

The mousetrap car is a simple machine but its take knowledge of the laws to be effective. Newton's three laws of motion are necessary for an acceptable length or distance category. Newton's first law of motion basically states that objects like to keep doing whatever it is that they are doing. If an object is sitting at rest on a table or rolling along the floor then that object will continue to sit on the table or roll along the floor until a force is applied to the object in order to cause a change. If you want to change the state of an object, you have to apply a force. Net forces cause objects to change their state of motion or accelerate. Newton recognized that his first law needed some additional explanation because most of the motion we observe around us undergoes changes and is the result of one or more applied forces; therefore, Newton wrote a Second Law of Motion which relates force, mass, and acceleration. Newton's third law of motion is often called the law of action-reaction. In the most basic definition of a force, it is a push or a pull. Newton recognized that a force was actually an interaction between two objects; example, when you push on a wall, the wall pushes back on you, you and the wall are part of an interacting together.

Thats why its important to find the correct amount of weight and that its distributed throughout the frame. So the wheels have less friction on the ground, there for its roles much faster. The direction does matter because if it at angle and the mousetrap is directing forward it going to eventually flip or hit something probably both at the same time. Safety in the automotive industry is particularly important and therefore highly regulated. Automobiles and other motor vehicles have to comply with a certain number of norms and regulations, whether local or international, in order to be accepted on the
