Potential vs Kinetic Energy
Where in the mousetrap is the potential energy? Where is the kinetic? in your journal you will have to tell me which energy is where and how is it different in a distance and speed car? you need to name your car..... what is yours???? ( answer both ? for full credit on the blog)

The potential energy is in the mousetrap's lever when it is about to be released. The kinetic energy is in the wheels when they are moving. The name of our car is Alauranda.
Kinetic energy is the mouse trap "trapper" swinging from the starting position to the ending position, and in the wheels when they turn. Potential energy is stored in the "trapper" when it is being held before it is launched.
We have decided to name our car after a great president. One who led us through a great war. One who was always good with words. Double W.
It is named after Woodrow Wilson.
the potential energy in the mouse trap car is in the trap itself when it is in the "ready" position before it is relseased. the kinetic energy is in the trap when it is relseased, then transfred to the wheels that move. the name of our car is starpower :]
Potential energy is energy that is stored. Kinetic is the energy of motion. In the car, the potential energy is when the lever is held back, and kinetic is when it is let go and the wheels are moving. The potential energy is turned into kinetic energy when this happens.

kinetic energy happens when the trapper swings forward and is in motion(and is about to break the mouses neck). potential energy is stored before the trapper is released but is still pulled back. the name of our car is Victor.

In the car, the potentiol energy is when the spring is wound up, about to be released. The Kinetic energy is after it is released and the car is moving.
The potential energy is in the mousetrap lever right before it is released. Kinetic enegy is after the lever has been fully realsed and when the wheels are moving. The name of our car is Billy-Gilbert Hildalgo. It is a distance car.
Potential energy is energy that has potential to move and kinetic energy is energy in motion. The mouse trap car has potential energy when it is ready to move and the string is wound up.
The Kinetic energy in the car is in the wheels after the mousetrap is released. The Potential energy is in the mousetrap before it is released
The potential energy in our car is the snapper on the mouse trap before it is released. The kinetic energy is when the wheels of the car turn by the force of the snapper.
In the mousetrap, the potential energy is in the spring part when the snapper is pulled back. The kinetic energy is in the motion of the snapper when it is released after being pulled back.
The name of our mousetrap car will be Frederick Roberto III
The potential energy is in the lever arm or just the mousetrap itself as it is set. The kinetic energy is in the trap as it is swinging and the wheels as they are moving. We have decided to name our car the BATMOBILE
potential is in the lever arm
The kinetic energy is n the motion of the wheels and the mousetrap while the potential energy is stored in the lever arm.
The kinetic energy is n the motion of the wheels and the mousetrap while the potential energy is stored in the lever arm.
the potential energy is in the lever before it is released, the kinetic energy is in the lever when it is released and then in the wheels as they roll.
the potential energy is the spring. and the kinetic is the arm of the mousetrap
potential energy is when the mousetrap is springed back, and the kinetic energy is when the moustrap springs back and the wheels start to move. The name of our car is Mach 5
