    Help with a grade 12 physics project — small recoil powered car

    I can't seem to edit my og post but here are some of my ideas so far: - a mousetrap launcher attached to a low-friction, customized car. For the timer, I'll use parts from a music box which would gradually tense up a string attached to the mouse trap's trigger mechanism -a spring canon mounted...

    Help with a grade 12 physics project — small recoil powered car

    Summary:: We have to make a car which -Has to have a trigger mechanism -after 5s the car launches a projectile backwards to push the car forwards at least 6m -NO ELECTRICITY ALLOWED, no motor, timer, etc -weight limit of 1kg Here it goes, we have to create a car powered solely by gravitational...
