Energy • Gravitational Potential Energy Kinetic Energy – E Loss • MGH ½ MV^2 - ukN • .0002Kg * 9.81m/s^2 * .57m ½ MV^2 - ukN • V = 0.0150996689m/s
Design/Construction • Materials used: • Small Hose $6 • Large Hose $8 • Nails $3 • Wood $2 • Funnel $2 • Zip Ties $1 • Pipe Insulation $4 • BB’s $1.50 • Total$27.50 • Issues: • -Fitting the Roller Coaster into the box • 15 seconds • Ball getting stuck • Large Hose • Small Hose • Funnel • Ball Falling off track • Friction
Conclusions • After many trials we came to a reasonable reliability of our roller coaster to be 70 to 75%. • Time Trail 13.5s to 15.2s • Different: • More brain storming • Better Materials • Better Reliability
