3. Objectives
Design and build a roller coaster that transports an object from a start point to an end point in 15 seconds.
Roller coaster must fit inside a box with dimensions of 0.5 meters * 0.5 meters *0.5 meters.
Create a Roller coaster that creates a sense of creativity.
Perform calculations to show the physics behind the ride.

5. Design Phase Materials Used Marble Wood Tubing Funnel
Screws, Nails, wood glue
Zip Ties

6. Design Overview Marble is given an initial force by student.
Marble rolls down 3 circles, 7 feet in length.
Where the marble shoots into a funnel where it spins around and eventually drops due to gravity.
Marble then rolls down an inclined designed ramp where it comes to a rest at the bottom.

7. Stored Energy Tube Funnel Drop Ramp
Potential gravitational energy with Kinetic energy to Kinetic energy
Funnel
Potential gravitational energy to circular acceleration with potential gravitational energy
Drop
Potential gravitational energy to inelastic collision
Ramp
Potential gravitational energy to rest

8. Conclusion
The actual construction time was approximately 4 hours. With planning and supply shopping lasting around 3 hours.
Our final design differed from our original design, but in the end we were able to incorporate the same concepts.
We had to adjust the ramp height, horizontal walls, and angle marble entered the funnel.
