A mousetrap car is a small vehicle whose only source of motive power is a mousetrap. Variations include the use of multiple traps, or very big rat traps, for added power. Mousetrap cars are often used in physics or other physical science classes to help students build problem-solving skills, develop spatial awareness, learn to budget time, and ...
Vehicle dynamics is the study of vehicle motion, e.g., how a vehicle's forward movement changes in response to driver inputs, propulsion system outputs, ambient conditions, air/surface/water conditions, etc. Vehicle dynamics is a part of engineering primarily based on classical mechanics.
A spring mousetrap by Victor Triggering a mousetrap. A mousetrap is a specialized type of animal trap designed primarily to catch and, usually, kill mice.Mousetraps are usually set in an indoor location where there is a suspected infestation of rodents.
Torsion-bar suspensions are used in many modern cars and trucks, as well as military vehicles. The sway bar used in many vehicle suspension systems also uses the torsion spring principle. The torsion pendulum used in torsion pendulum clocks is a wheel-shaped weight suspended from its center by a wire torsion spring.
Automotive engineering, along with aerospace engineering and naval architecture, is a branch of vehicle engineering, incorporating elements of mechanical, electrical, electronic, software, and safety engineering as applied to the design, manufacture and operation of motorcycles, automobiles, and trucks and their respective engineering subsystems.
Students at Triway Junior High built cars to protect eggs as part of a science project to learn about physics and car safety.
