Strain Energy

February 27, 2006

The energy in a stretched rubber band can be used  to move a car.
The gear train is 1 to 25 so a small pull on the arm makes a long distance for the car.

Place the car as far back from the wall as you think it can go with the arm completely pulled back.
Check out your hypotheses.
