The Project

Introduction Our project goal was to build a creative roller coaster track. The cost was roughly around $35 Majority of the cost came from the wood and funnels purchased at Home Depot and Wal-Mart

Overview The first step is to release the ball on the track and let it roll down each track on an incline. Second, the track will end and the ball will fall into a funnel connected to a tube. Finally, the ball will follow the tubing where it is connected to another funnel and then follow the tubing until it ends on a track.

Energies and Force Ball - Potential and Kinetic Energy Aluminum Foil - Impulse - Friction Tubing

Conclusion We approximately took 7 hours in making the project. We encountered several problems - Keep the tubing at the right angle to keep the ball moving throughout the tubing - Correct angle of the aluminum foil to catch the ball
