Overview
This project will go through a series of steps, converting various types of energy forms to result in a final action
Purpose
This project will go through a process of steps and in the end shoot a gun at the desired target (a.k.a. Betsy)
Materials
cardboard, pens, marbles, string, wood, billiard ball, dart gun, picture of Betsy, cup, funnel, and various adhesive materials
The very beginning of a masterpiece
Construction
Adding the final touches…
Process Step 1: A marble drops down a funnel converting
potential energy (mgh) kinetic energy (½ mv2)
Step 2: Rolls down two ramps- again converting PE to KE- then is caught in a cup which pulls up a gate, releasing a billiard ball, producing work (F*d)
Step 3: The billiard ball falls into a cup which pulls down on a string looped over a pulley (F*d), which pulls the spring released trigger (½ kx2)
Conclusion
Mission
Accomplished!
Through many trials and changes of product and goal we were finally able to come up with a project that conserves energy and works.
YAY!
THE END
Thanks to Paul for his overtime work!Disclaimer: He’s our eye-witness. We swear it works!
