The mousetrap racer that was created by my group travelled a total of 6.60m on our best test on testing day. The distance achieved, placed my group third in the class, this was quite unexpected due to the ongoing issues we kept discovering with our racer. Issues involved were as such a crooked front wheel, materials being incapable of being brought in and our mousetrap racer stopping before the mousetrap had completely snapped shut. Before testing day the furthest length our racer had achieved was
“The Mousetrap” Essay In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the play-within-the-play is intended to prove if King Claudius killed Hamlet's father. The best interpretation of the Mousetrap scene was with actor, Kenneth Branagh, because of the things were portrayed like the characters’ behavior, staging and movement, and audience reactions. The interpretation the acting company is trying to convey in this version was to have the people of Denmark begin to suspect that Claudius killed Hamlet’s father, as the play
The mousetrap car Sexy Beast didn’t do well on its final run, despite its excellent design. Unfortunately, the cause to the car 's poor performance is still a mystery. However, the car had excellent leverage, momentum, zero to low friction, and kinetic energy. The car’s gearing was made up of three different parts. First, was the axil which was larger in diameter to get the car going and then became smaller to give it more of a push. Second, was the wheels. The back wheels were larger so that
In the 1996 movie adaptation of the famous play Hamlet, one of the most important scenes in the movie was the mousetrap scene, a scene in which Prince Hamlet finds out the truth of his father's death via the help of the acting company he hires in order to help him uncover the truth. The acting company, in theory, is supposed to act out a scene that Hamlet gives them which expresses the way that Hamlet's father truly perished in order to find out if his uncle was really the cause of his father's demise
to build a mousetrap powered car. The mousetrap car needed to travel fifteen feet. The purpose of building these mousetrap cars was to demonstrate our knowledge of motion, friction, force, distance, and energy. We have studied these concepts, and each one is a factor in the success of a mousetrap car. HYPOTHESIS I hypothesized that a mousetrap car without a lever arm would generate more power, and a larger wheel diameter would result in a further distance. I believe that my mousetrap car will generate
A mousetrap car is a small vehicle whose only source of motive power is a mousetrap. The mousetrap acts as a third-class lever, with the spring as the fulcrum and the hammer as the load. The vehicle works by winding the string around the axle the mouse trap's spring is stretched and now you have your stored energy, also known as Potential Energy which is the amount of energy an object has due to its position in space. As the mousetrap car is released the mouse trap pulls the string off of the axle

1. Theoretical and cultural context & authors intentions Christie Agatha The Mousetrap was was written in the 1950s, most specifically premiered in 1952 in London’s West end (Moss Stephan, 2012). Her inspiration for her detective stories came from observation. By paying close attention to her surroundings–sometimes even real life current events–she was able to create “what if scenarios.” She never had any formal training as a detective and relied primarily on her keen intelligence, powers of observation
Both films are trying to convey the fact that Hamlet’s facade works in making the audience believe Hamlet is actually mad and to expose his parent’s relationship. The purpose of the “Mousetrap” scene was to find out if Hamlet sees that Claudius has a reaction to his play similar to his father’s death, so he could know if he really killed his father or not. During the scene, facial expressions, and movement will determine whether or not Claudius or anyone else have a reaction to the play making them
fullest and this concept is shown brilliantly in many forms of literature. The podcast, “This American Life: ‘A Better Mousetrap’” by Ira Glass, and the article, “IT’S OK TO BE DIFFERENT” by Angela Erickson, share this theme that once given life, he or she should attempt to enjoy it to the greatest extent. There are many examples from the podcast “This American Life: ‘A Better Mousetrap’” that support the message of Carpe Diem. It is neatly woven into the podcast’s story when a mother, Kristy, shares
We designed a complex way in order to do this simple task. First of all, we decided to have a catapult fling a bouncy ball into to dominos which would set off a mousetrap. Then, the mousetrap would pull a string to releases a ball down a slide. The golf ball would fly down a race track and then set off another mousetrap. Next, the mousetrap would pull a string out of a book which would close the book on top of scissors. Finally, the scissors would cut a string which is holding up a dumbbell and the
his plays “All the world 's a stage /And all the men and women merely players." The Mousetrap is another ideal representation of a play within a play an even more specific manifestation of metatheatre than that mirrors the reality of the events that happened in Denmark. In this scene, Shakespeare directs and manipulates theatrical conventions to help define the subtleties of Hamlet’s conflict. 1. The Mousetrap a Perfect Example of a Play within a Play First thing to remember is what myse en abime
The interpretation that is best is the, Kenneth Branagh. The interpretation the acting company is trying to convey is a very dramatic staging by making the Mousetrap a very public play to the people from Denmark. The company wants to include the people from Denmark so they could witness the indirect accusations from Hamlet to King Claudius about his father’s death and his mother’s marriage. They convey an interpretation in which what is said by Hamlet is not private, but heard by the audience. They
atmosphere and Hamlet acted in a more natural way. The Kenneth Branagh meanwhile had a more dramatic scene with the hamlet acting much more bipolar and yelling in a public event with all the lords watching. The David Tennant version had the mousetrap play seem like a much more private event due to the fact that the stage being so simplistic and having such a small audience. When Hamlet goes to be with Ophelia he lays down on her lap and has her arms wrap around him. He then proceeds to playfully
In the mousetrap it is used to reveal Claudius’ guilt and allow Hamlet to proceed to his mission of vengeance. The Elsinore Castle on the other hand could be considered as “the kingdom of deception”. Everyone is deceiving everyone else and everyone is being deceived
In Hamlet Horatio survives because he is the prince’s confidant, he survives so that he can remind us the reader’s of Hamlet’s virtues when he tells the story of Hamlet. He is the only one that believes that Hamlet has good intentions. Horatio lets us know as readers that Hamlet was a hero, in his efforts to bring justice to his fathers murder. Fortinbras’s role in the play is foil, he contrasts with Hamlet through out the entire play. Despite their differences towards eachother they’re almost parallel;
broken. I enjoy working on different types of projects and learning new things, such as the mousetrap car, ten 80, balsawood bridge and or the water bottle rocket. All these projects are different in many ways and through working on each of these projects, I have gained new and different skills as well as an understanding of new and different things. I enjoyed working on the water bottle rocket, mousetrap car, and Balsawood Bridge they were all very fun and interesting projects to do. I learned a
Introduction: Finer Counterfeits? (Brusseau, 2012, 9.6 Case Studies) In business, one of the core values is to "build a better mousetrap" (quote ascribed to Ralph Waldo Emerson). (Quoteinvestigator.com, 2018) Fans and patrons of Finer Bags would say they are doing just that. According to US Law, it is illegal to make and sell counterfeit handbags (Spooner, 2018). The significant question here is, "Are these counterfeits or knockoffs?" A Corporate Culture of Honesty? Finer Bags advertising indicates
In order to determine the relevant distinction between Role Functionalism and Realizer Functionalism, one needs to derive a concise description of what the functionalism theory entails. Functionalism is a theory about the nature of mental states. It became prominent during the 1960s and widely accepted in relation to its views which deemed plausible for many other sciences. In the philosophy of mind, it is the components of “a mental state of a particular type” which “does not depend on its internal
Engaging a Text 5 Augustine of Hippo, one of the Christian church’s greatest theologians, is a powerful preacher who discussed major themes of Christian Theology. Augustine preached on the meaning of the cross, and explain Christ’s death and resurrection held for human salvation. In his sermon, Augustine explains how Christ can be thought of as both a lion and a lamb. Jesus Christ is the Lion of Judah, and he is also the Lamb of God who takes away human’s sin. Augustine acknowledged his that without
