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.
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.
depends on how strong the spring is.
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.
Spring constant of an elastic material is the force applied per unit extension.

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)
By transferring the spring energy to the drive wheels.

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

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

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.
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
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.
