Tuesday-Thursday

What machines will a mouse trap car have?  Well, you need a body, wheels, and a mousetrap.

The mousetrap is a lever.  What type?  Does this make things faster or easier?







Here, we have two machines (3rd class lever and a wheel and axle) with an AMA less than 1.  What does this do for the racer?   How can we maximize this factor for the wheels?

BY 12:30, please tell me or Christine if you are going with Option A, Option B, or Option C.

If you choose to analyze a pre-made video, you'll need to do the following.

1.  Watch the video.  Note the times that you observe the terms above.  For example, you may see negative acceleration at :42-:54   You need to use all the terms above.
2.  Put the terms in order of time, not in the order above.  This will help you think about the way you are going to speak about things.
3.  Listen to some color commentators in a sports broadcast so you understand better what you are asked to do.
4.  Start writing your script.  I will ask to see what you have done tomorrow.

If you choose one of the other two options, please plan out what you are going to do on paper.  Again, I will ask for your documentation.
