Marble On Incline

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Marble on incline.

Marble incline is an arcade style game that has you rolling a marble during multiple mazes to complete them as quickly as possible. Olivia lezcano conservation of momentum table 1. We tried a small deacon s bench which is 15 5 inches 40 cm high. When the rubber band is released and pours out all that energy it had stored up or when the marble begins to fly down the inclined plane that energy is kinetic energy.

After many trials he observed that the amount of time it took for the ball to roll down the entire length of the ramp was equal to double the amount of time it took for the same ball to only roll a quarter of the distance. The lower height reduced the speed of the marbles allowing them to settle into the cups without popping back out. Mark the distance.

Conceived as a plan b to a failing project that i was pursuing for lowrezjam 2014 a game jam which celebrated and encouraged the creation of low resolution games and experiences.

Using a water clock galileo measured the time it took for the ball to roll a known distance down the inclined plane. This experiment follows galileo inclined plane experiment investigating speed and acceleration of balls rolling down an inclined plane. Galileo used brass balls and bells mounted on an inclined plane we can use marbles a little opto electronics and.
