The process of turning on a light Gun fires, sends ball Careening down ramp Ball Picks up velocity jumps into funnel Ball falls through funnel sets off mouse trap Mouse trap flips switch turning on “light”
Purpose= Death of a mouse ball at the expense of a little light
3.14 m/s(Kinetic/Potential) Energy Conversions 1.Before Launch of Ball 15.1 J (Potential/Spring) 2.After Spring Launch 1.34 m/s (Spring/Kinetic) 3.At bottom of Ramp 3.5 m/s(Kinetic) 4.Before Launch off the ramp 3.14 m/s(Kinetic/Potential) .6 J
Result: In the real world simple methods for simple tasks just don’t cut it. Apply a little time and Engineering to everyday life and you will never have to leave your bed again.
