Starts from rest
Goes down a series of ramps
Falls into a spiral downwards
Makes the field goal for three!!!!!!!
Everybody wins!!!!!!!
Stored Energy
• The stored energy comes from gravity
• MGH sound familiar
• There is less gravity on the moon
Construction
• Getting things to stick together was a
problem
• Measuring ramps for time to come out
exact
• Finding a way to get the marble to enter
spiral
Conclusions
• We expect the roller coaster to run
around 15 seconds
• This is concluded from multiple trial runs
• Potential energy is converted to kinetic
energy through the ramps and the
spiral.
