Balloon Popper By:Tommy Townsend, Alaka Hoskins ,Justin Dempsey Jeff McRiffey
What We Used? • List of Materials • Wooden tracks • Wooden Balloon Stand • A roll of tape • Balloons • Card Board • Thumb tack • Rubber balls • Wooden see saw
What Goes Where? • The Incline • The wooden track and stand where used to make the incline as seen
Rubber Bouncy Balls • The Rubber balls • A small rubber ball is used to initiate the processes • The larger ball is a mechanism for transferring momentum
The Seesaw • Seesaw • The see saw is then used to provide work on the thumbtack to then pop the balloon
PE= KE +PE m1gh1= 1/2m1v² + m2gh2 PE1= PE2 + Eloss Conservation of Energy (calculating how it works)
Conclusion • Many of the different concepts associated with engineering, to most can be hard to visualize. • Professors and TA’s, there job is to help students visualize as many concepts of engineering, which we observe everyday. • This is one of those concepts that helps us understanding the theory behind physic concepts like Rube Goldberg using a visual aid.
