What is the spring constant for a victor mousetrap?

Victor has changed their mousetraps and made their traps the same so they now have the same spring constant. The spring constant of all victor mousetraps are 3.52 N/m.


How do you find spring constant in mousetrap car?

Measure the force (f) required to compress the spring a given amount (x) then use hooke's law to compute the spring constant (k) (f=kx)


How does a mousetrap car function?

By transferring the spring energy to the drive wheels.


When was the mousetrap invented?

The traditional spring mousetrap was invented by James Atkinson an ironmonger from Leeds (England) in 1897. It was called the "Little Nipper" which is still available today.


Is the spring constant is constant on the moon?

no the spring constant is not constant on moon because there is no restoring force there


What causes a mousetrap vehicle to accelerate?

Acceleration of a mousetrap vehicle occurs because potential energy in the tensed spring is converted to kinetic energy (energy of motion) as the spring relaxes. There are two basic forms of mousetrap vehicle, those which release the spring suddenly, and those which release it gradually. Those that release the spring suddenly generally have the quickly moving spring impact an object, commonly the track, which accelerates the vehicle forwards. Those that release the spring gradually often use the spring energy to cause drive wheels to turn, which also accelerates the vehicle.


How many pounds of force does a mousetrap have at half of it's full velocity?

depends on how strong the spring is.


What is the characteristics of springs with large spring constant in hooke's law?

larger the spring constant of a spring, the more stiffer it is.


If a spring with spring constant k is cut into two equal parts what will be the spring constant of each part?

2k


What is the spring constant of a spring?

The ratio of force applied to how much the spring streches (or compresses). In the SI, the spring constant would be expressed in Newtons/meter. A larger spring constant means the spring is "stiffer" - more force is required to stretch it a certain amount.


Why does a large spring constant indicate a stiff spring?

It takes a larger force to compress or pull a spring the same distance as a spring with a smaller spring constant. This is shown in Hooke's law. x=F/k k---is the spring constant F---is the force applied to the spring x is the distance the spring has been compressed


Is spring constant same when contracting?

It depends on the type of spring, but for general purposes the spring constant of materials, as long as it is linear, is the same in extension and contracting.
