I need help coming up with all physics concepts dealing with the mousetrap car and I need the equations for those concepts.
Plz Help
Thnx

A mousetrap car is a simple machine that uses the energy stored in a mousetrap's spring to power the movement of a small vehicle.
The mousetrap car works by converting the potential energy stored in the spring of the mousetrap into kinetic energy, which propels the car forward.
The key physics concepts involved in a mousetrap car include potential and kinetic energy, force and motion, friction, and mechanical advantage.
The main equations used to calculate the performance of a mousetrap car include the energy equation (E=1/2mv²), the work equation (W=F*d), and the power equation (P=W/t).
To optimize the performance of a mousetrap car, you can experiment with different designs, materials, and placement of components to maximize potential energy, minimize friction, and increase mechanical advantage. Additionally, ensuring a smooth and level surface for the car to move on can also improve its performance.
