2. Introduction
Our goal was to design a machine that stamps a piece of paper with several requirements.
Using Projectile Motion
Conservation of Energy
Conservation of Momentum
The components were everyday items which kept the cost to a few dollars.

3. The Team
The Device

4. Procedure First step is to release the projectile to trigger the car.
The car experiences kinetic energy then has an impulse force when it is stopped by the string.
The impulse on the string from the car releases the trap spring which stamps the paper.

5. Use of Energy Projectile Motion - Spring constant to Kinetic energy
Car – Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy
Impulse force from car to string
Mouse Trap – Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy

6. Conclusion
The greatest dilemma faced was the design of incorporating the aspects of the project.
The dimensions made it hard to design the different requirements of the project.
Getting all of the components to work together and in time
Attaching the stamp rod to the trap
The project took approx. 4 hours to build and estimated cost of all components were under $20
