Rube Goldberg
Our Rube Goldberg consisted of 12 steps. Step 1 rolling a ball down an incline plane. Step 2 a pulley moving up a ball. Step 3 the ball hitting the other ball transferring the force and a ball rolling down another incline plane. Step 4 a ball transferring its energy
to
the weight. Step 5 wheel and axel move because weight pulls it down. Step 6 wedge moving out of the way of ball. Step 7 ball rolls down ramp. Step 8 ball transfers energy to the wood block step 9 ball rolls down inline plane into a cardboard tube. Step 10 ball in tube moves pulley falling down. Step 11 ball hits class one lever moving it up. Step 12 lever hitting bell.
Our Original design was a lot different from our final project because we made the design before and did not know if we would have the supplies. Step 5 and step 9. In step 5 the wheel and axel would not twist because the weight did not have enough weight to pull down the string moving up the wedge. In step 9 the ball would sometimes miss the tube but will the sides we added the go in every time.

In my groups project we work well together in the second part after we had a collaboration thing to show how we were working and we improved from there. I started working harder and so did my group. With what we led about what we were doing we got the project done faster.
Equations
In our project we figured out more about how physics work and how to find them out. we figured out many equations to figure this out.
FORCE: to figure out fore take f=ma force = mass times acceleration
MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE: mechanical advantage is figured out by many different ways depending on the machine. incline plane ,wheel and axel, wedge, pulley, screw. its how much easier a machine can get.
TOPPLING AFFECT: the center of balance is moved and it falls the the direction it is headed
