Calculate how much work was done and force applied to set the spring back and calculate distance spring travels, then multiply by each other to get how much work was done.
B. Avg force to set = 5.67 N
Circumference .825 m.
we did 0.17 joules of work on the mouse trap car.
C. Use equation for calculating multiply f and d to get amount of work done
D. We did not weigh our mouse trap car 
E. Our car would go about halfway up the ramp then it would not have enough power and PE in it to make it to the top ]]> 2018-03-13 01:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/m97j00am7p8q/wish/241179379 2. ar20167 https://padlet.com/lisle202/m97j00am7p8q/wish/241180592 We made the pvc pipe around the wheel axis wide enough so the axis wouldnt slide left or right and go straight.]]> 2018-03-13 02:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/m97j00am7p8q/wish/241180592 3. ar20167 https://padlet.com/lisle202/m97j00am7p8q/wish/241180892 The ratio determines how wide the axle that the mouse trap is pulling and ours was thinner so it went faster than a thicker axle.]]> 2018-03-13 02:04:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/m97j00am7p8q/wish/241180892 4. ar20167 https://padlet.com/lisle202/m97j00am7p8q/wish/241181515 we did not really do anything to minimize friction in our car, we were planning on putting balloons around the wheels to grip the ground better.]]> 2018-03-13 02:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/m97j00am7p8q/wish/241181515 5 ar20167 https://padlet.com/lisle202/m97j00am7p8q/wish/241181671 Dont know because we did not weigh our car.]]> 2018-03-13 02:09:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/m97j00am7p8q/wish/241181671 6. ar20167 https://padlet.com/lisle202/m97j00am7p8q/wish/241181861 The energy would have gone into the ground because there was not enough power to pull that mass for a certain speed.]]> 2018-03-13 02:10:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/m97j00am7p8q/wish/241181861
