Energy Used Gravitational potential energy- mgh Kinetic Energy- ½ mv 2 Rotational Kinetic Energy- ½ Iω 2 Center of Mass-Σmr/Σm Torque- Στ=Iα Projectile motion- Conservation of Momentum- m(Δv)=m(Δv)
Design and Construction Issues Takes time to set/reset Goes off by itself (sensitivity) Structure is unstable Level of the floor is important Kink in the hose
Conclusions Sometimes fails in various locations Original designs- nothing like the final design
