But the less the car weighs the faster it will go because it has less mass. Therefore, it doesn't take a big amount of force to move it.]]> 2016-11-19 17:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138887037 5332341 https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138887236 Newtons third law applies to the car because as the car is rolling, friction is pushing against it with less force so the car still moves. But as the car keeps going, the forces equal out and the car slows down until it finally stops. The force of the mousetrap on the car causes to car to move forward, demonstrating that there are equal and opposite reactions.]]> 2016-11-19 17:27:09 UTC https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138887236 5332341 https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138887478 1. Action: the car hitting the wall with a force.
Reaction: the wall pushing back on the car with an equal force, causing the car to stop.
2. Action: the mousetrap car pushing on the ground 
Action: the ground pushing a force on the mousetrap car.
3. Action: balloons gripping the floor.
Reaction: the floor gripping the balloons.
4. Action: the snapping of the mousetrap.
Reaction: spinning of the axle (pens).]]> 2016-11-19 17:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138887478 5332341 https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138888555 2016-11-19 17:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138888555 5332341 https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138888757 When the mousetrap is wound up, it has an increased amount of elastic potential energy. 

When the mousetrap is released and starts to gain speed the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy because kinetic energy increases when velocity increases.

Then, Kinetic energy and Potential energy are converted into heat because of the frictional force.]]> 2016-11-19 17:55:47 UTC https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138888757 5332341 https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138889116 2016-11-19 18:02:39 UTC https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138889116 5332341 https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138889197 Momentum = mv
The less mass the mousetrap car has, the faster it will go. 

The more mass the mousetrap car has, the slower it will go.]]> 2016-11-19 18:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138889197 5332341 https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138889204 Impulse = F
The amount of force applied to the mousetrap car in a shorter amount of time will have a smaller impulse.

The amount of force applied to the mousetrap car in double the amount of time will double the impulse.

Without impulse there is no momentum.]]> 2016-11-19 18:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138889204 5332341 https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138890002 2016-11-19 18:19:13 UTC https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138890002 5332341 https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138890022 2016-11-19 18:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138890022 5332341 https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138890262 2016-11-19 18:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138890262 5332341 https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138890307 2016-11-19 18:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/5332341/7qziubpw5ogg/wish/138890307
