Mousetrap

Mouse Killing Car Project While building and testing a mousetrap car the builder must understand a few simple but, vital mechanics. The vehicle will be propelled by the pulling force of a small mousetrap. The end goal of building this car is to have it go from one end of the room to the other on top of carpet. Leverage, kinetic energy, and friction; are things to take into consideration while testing and building the car. There are two types of levers to keep in mind. The first is the lever arm…

Rube Goldberg Project For this Rube Goldberg project I am going to explain how my machine worked. My simple task was to pop a balloon. The item we used to pop the balloon was a mousetrap. I am going to go step by step through how I created my Rube Goldberg machine. First, we started out with a ramp that we dropped the ball on. That was our potential energy. Next, we had a ball drop down a tub at approximately 180°. That was mechanical energy. After that, the ball went through an elbow and…

way plays are created and how her disappearance has frightened this realm. Murder mystery genres created a great part of Agatha’s writing career. Along with writing, Christie’s playwriting profession took off after writing her famous play, “The mousetrap”, which began in 1952. Numerous years after a fortunate career, Agatha Christie then soon lived a mystery of her own after her own disappearance. Christie is one of the greatest famous mystery writers from the 1900’s. Agatha Christie first…

design package of mousetrap car of Group 4B. The tender evaluation criteria list provides the criterion that have to be fulfilled by us in order to contract Group 4B design. Therefore, we as the contractors of Group 7A have to produce tender submission which provides explanation and evidences on how we fulfilled the criterion from the tendering company. There are few reasons that we chose the design package of Group 4B. One of the reasons is the design of mousetrap car of Group…

Most tales have some sort of theme. Especially stories that stick with you forever; the ones that meant something. Whether it be something simple or complex, themes are extremely beneficial to carry the plot along and in my opinion makes reading truly worthwhile. Luckily, William Shakespeare was incredible at developing marvelous themes as seen in Romeo and Juliet, 12 Nights, and more importantly Hamlet. Throughout Hamlet, there is an array of themes that can be determined. A few of those being…

initially used a foam base but it was too light and had little air resistance, so I switched to a heavier material that resisted the air more. I chose to incorporate four wheels upon my design because I believed it would highly balance my car and its mousetrap engine within it. In addition, it resembles an actual car, which works really well in the real world. In my design, I used regular sized CDs as my wheels due to its perfect outer edges. Using CDs as wheels lessons the problem of unevenness…

We are fascinated by the play of power and persuasion in relationships: explore and compare the dynamics in relationships, and the dramatic means by which they are established, in Hamlet. In the play Hamlet, William Shakespeare includes diverse relationships between many characters. Within these relationships there are characters that are dominant over others and are able influence their actions. King Claudius is an example of having power and easily persuades his wife, Queen Gertrude, to do…

One example of speciesism would be mousetraps. I, for one, am terrified and disgusted by rats, which would sadly make me a speciesist. Majority of people fear rats and mice, but would do anything to get them out of their houses. We set up mousetraps for our own interests, which would be to get them out. Although we succeed with the traps, the mice suffer whether they’re whole body is stuck on the glue of the trap, leaving them unable to move at all or their bodies are snapped with old-fashioned…

of people especially when they are faced with challenges and problems. The two works highlighted the ability of man to carry out his thoughts into action, whether it will do them good or not. The Mousetrap and the Newspaper Article There are signifiers inherent in the two plays – the play, The Mousetrap, was used by Hamlet to send a message to King Claudius that he partly knew of what happened to his father; and Gonzalo shared an item in the newspaper to Nita and Adrian about a murder that…

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…
