3. Rube-Goldberg Device Start: marble down a series of tubing
Marble knocks golf ball off of platform
Golf ball falls into cup 1
Cup 1 lifts cup 2 through pulley
Now lever is unbalanced and weighted bottle falls
End: 1 kg weight is lifted through the pulley

4. Conservation of Energy
GPEmarble →KEmarble
Elastic collision: KEmarble → KEgolf ball
Decrease of GPEcup1 & Increase of GPEcup2
GPEbottle →KEbottle

5. Construction & Design Issues
Switched from plastic cups to bottles
Change the height of the lever
Change the height of the pulley
Lifting weight in 10 seconds

6. Conclusions Our setup was successful We witnessed Physics at work :
Dropping a marble → lifted a 1kg weight
We used teamwork to accomplish a task
