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

3. Final Design Materials Used 2x4 plywood x2 Pulley Mouse trap x2 Toy Car 5 lb weight x2 Dominos x4 sets

4. Problems & Solutions 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

5. Calculations 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

6. Summary 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
