1. The Math Machine William Grasty James Hunter Austin Jerome Alex Thacker

2. Overview of Design Used pieces of wood and PVC pipe to create lever Had PVC pipe as launch ramp into mousetrap Used more PVC pipe and wood to create more ramps Cut a water bottle in half as funnel

3. Summary of Operation It turns on an calculator Slides a domino, activated by a lever, into a mousetrap The mousetrap pulls a string that lowers a ramp allowing a marble to roll into a hole The marble then rolls down a series of ramps into a funnel turning on the device

4. Calculations Center of Mass Projectile Motion

5. Calculations cont. Conservation of Linear Momentum Torque Conservation of Translational Energy

6. Summary of Issues Construction of lever Organization of device Original projectile Attaching the mousetrap Getting supplies

7. Conclusion We were successful and able to repeat the device Learned how to organize and thoroughly plan out a project Would of got all supplies needed sooner so we could of started quicker
