1/6/2016Wong, Morrison, Miller, Cruey3 The Marble Adventure.. ~Small marble drops down a series of cardboard ramps ~Lands in a mountain dew bottle ~Large marble is dropped into funnel ~Triggers spring loaded hot-wheel ramp ~Ramp ejects car ~Car hits switch which turns on light bulb
4
1/6/2016Wong, Morrison, Miller, Cruey4 Energetic Marble Moments.. ~ Starts with gravitational potential energy as the ball starts at top of the cardboard ramps ~ When small marble falls into balanced center of mass, (bottle) energy is transferred into rotational kinetic energy as the bottle tilts. ~Then kinetic energy of large marble is transferred to the spring loaded ramp which causes car to be ejected ~Ends when car switches on the light bulb
