Overview of ProjectProcess
Mouse trap sets off weighted car
Car goes down ramp and stops at door
Door sets off dominos that set off 2nd mouse trap
2nd mouse trap releases door to let car finish ramp

Problems
•Took 4 seconds to pull up
• Truck kept stalling
• Friction in ramp and wheels
Solutions
•Added mouse traps & dominos
• Added 2 five lb weights to car
• Sanded ramp

• Mouse Trap = elastic potential energy kinetic energy
• Car = potential energy kinetic energy
• Dominos = potential energy kinetic energy
•2nd Mouse Trap = elastic potential energy kinetic
energy
• Car = potential energy kinetic energy

What Could be Improved• Find more ways to slow the weight down to equal 10
seconds
• Quicker setup for convenience
Things Learned• Simple is better
• You knock one domino over…you knock all the dominos
over
• We’ve got a looooong way to go in engineering
