Hollow Cylinder (Angular Momentum) L=I ω Ball Rolling down pipe ramp (COE) mgh=(1/2)mv² + (1/2)I ω ² Newton’s Cradle (Collision/Linear momentum) m 1 v 1 + m 2 v 2 = m 1 v 1 ’ + m 2 v 2 ’ Stick Balancing (Center of Mass) R = m 1 r 1 + m 2 r 2… m 1 + m 2… Trap Springing (Torque/Rotational Energy) τ = Frsin( θ )

Spiral would not cooperate, had to make many different types. Stick would not pop balloons with nails, had to go buy actual needles. Could not find a suitable electronic device for the trap to set off. Once we got the piece we could not get the metal pieces to connect correctly

We visually learned the applications from our lectures from the past four modules We learned that time management is a key to a successful group project. It was a fun, but intellectually tiring project.
