Mousetrap Car by Brittany Rixie https://padlet.com/510412/xqvq3cx09yan Brittany Rixie, Kendall Sheskey, Maddie Wright, Paige Newton en-us 2016-11-27 18:20:04 UTC 2023-02-25 04:23:07 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Rocket.png Newton's first law of motion: 510412 https://padlet.com/510412/xqvq3cx09yan/wish/140038522 basically states that objects like to keep doing whatever it is that they are doing. Our mousetrap car didn't move until we clicked the cheese to undo the lever that held the string that made it move. It didn't stop until the string ran out or it ran into something.

If the car weighed more, the acceleration would be less. As the net force on the car increases so will the acceleration.

When the car is moving on the floor, both the floor and car have equal amounts of force towards each other. As the wheels spin, they grip the floor and push the floor backwards. Since forces result from mutual interactions, the floor must also be pushing the wheels forward.

Kinetic Energy: As soon as the lever moves the vehicle moves and it has kinetic energy]]> 2016-11-27 19:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/510412/xqvq3cx09yan/wish/140042016 Describe how the ideas of momentum and impulse can be applied to the car. 510412 https://padlet.com/510412/xqvq3cx09yan/wish/140042112 The acceleration of the car is directly proportional to the net force acting upon it. The impulse is the change in momentum. For example, if the car has a collision with something, the object will experience a force for a specific amount of time that results in a change of momentum. In a collision the car will also experience an impulse. The impulse causes and is equal to the change in momentum. ]]> 2016-11-27 19:12:49 UTC https://padlet.com/510412/xqvq3cx09yan/wish/140042112 Top View 510412 https://padlet.com/510412/xqvq3cx09yan/wish/140042164 2016-11-27 19:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/510412/xqvq3cx09yan/wish/140042164 Side View 510412 https://padlet.com/510412/xqvq3cx09yan/wish/140042281 2016-11-27 19:14:57 UTC https://padlet.com/510412/xqvq3cx09yan/wish/140042281 Group Picture 510412 https://padlet.com/510412/xqvq3cx09yan/wish/140042359 2016-11-27 19:15:50 UTC https://padlet.com/510412/xqvq3cx09yan/wish/140042359 Video 510398 https://padlet.com/510412/xqvq3cx09yan/wish/140047584 2016-11-27 20:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/510412/xqvq3cx09yan/wish/140047584
