  1. By: Tyler Standridge, Samar Fawaz, Tyson Street, and Nathan Capps aka Shorty The Theoretical project

  2. Overview of Design • The device begins with a car projected to provide enough force to collide with a weight. • The weight tips the balanced track. A marble and two cars simultaneously roll off the balanced track. • The marble rolls along the back side to trigger the other team’s device. • The two cars roll into a red cup. • The red cup and pulley system are used to pull up our banner.

  3. Overview of Operations • When the car reaches the curve, conservation of angular momentum is applied. • L=L’ • Conservation of linear momentum is evident when the car collides with the weight. • mv + m v = m v′ + m v′ (perfectly elastic) • (0.0294kgcm/s) = 0.035kg* v’ where final velocity of weight is 0.840 cm/s. • Center of mass is seen when the balanced track tips. • R = Ʃ (mr)/(m) • Torque is applied with the pulley system. • T = I * a

  4. Concerns… • We had an issue with keeping the cup straight so the cars actually make it into the cup. • We do not have full confidence when it comes to starting the device. • Sometimes the car does not collide with the weight good enough to tip the balance. • Basically we’re not sure this will work at all…
