2nd Law - Net force of mousetrap is directly proportional to acceleration of the car but the ground is inversely proportional to the object's mass
3rd Law - Setting off trap, car moves
String unwinds, axel turns wheels
Tape on wheels pushes ground and ground pushes tape on wheels
Car pushes ground ground pushes car

After its released energy turns the axle through the string
Car begins to move and wheels move
Friction between ground and wheels slow car down and car loses all the energy once at complete stop.

Impulse - impulse is similar to momentum so when momentum changes so does impulse.
