your mousetrap car has the following dimensions: a length that is .35 meters long, a lever arm that is 21 cm long, a mass of 423 grams, and wheels that have a diameter of 12 cm. When the car is put in motion it accelerates. It is noticed that as the lever arm is moving the wheels make 12 revolutions and the entire car travels a distance of 4.52 meters in 3.82 seconds before the lever arm stops moving. At the point the arm stops moving the car coasts an additional 6.95 meters before coming to a stop.
What is the acceleration of the car while the mousetrap is releasing the energy?
Compare the distance the arm travels to the distance the wheels travel to determine the IMA for this mousetrap car?
