Thanks for the help.

Thanks.

I have now added all of the information that I have to the description.

Good idea.

The 0.94N is from multiplying the normal force of the cart (2.35 N) and the coefficient of friction (0.4). I know that the potential energy in the spring is 0.2044. Is that useful?

6.336 meters is the theoretical value that I calculated based on the length of the drivetrain and the circumference of the axle and wheels. So it is not really frictionless as much as theoretical stopping distance without friction taken into account.

Ffriction=0.94N u (coefficient of friction)=0.4 Fnormal=2.35N Mass of Cart= 0.24 kg Spring Potential Energy of the Mousetrap=0.2044 J Circumference of Wheels= 0.373 m Circumference of Axles= 0.0047625 m Drive Train Length= 0.254m Theoretical Distance based on Circumference of Wheels...
