Design Two layer rollercoaster Starts from rest Dropped into a loop Proceeds into a spiral Drops down into a pipe Makes a jump into a funnel Shoots down a tube Hits a magnetic target.
Stored EnergyPotential Energy = Mass · Gravity · Height
Marble starts from restMarble is dropped
All stored energy is potential energy (mgh)
Energy = (.003 kg)(9.81 m/s²)(1.05 meters)Energy = .030902 Joules
Design and Construction Issues
ConclusionsOur elevator was good in theory, not in practiceCross-bracing was an effective means of supporting
our structureWe learned not to overcomplicate our designs when
given basic materials to work with.A good team has to adapt to dynamic problems
