The Team • Jeff Dols • Tyler Drumheller • Josh Myers • James Wolterman
Purpose • To open a box…and to ROCK!!
The Device • Starts with a golf ball going down a tube; ends in excitement. • What is in the mystery box, and what’s the deal with the backwards question mark?
Trial and Error
Conservation of Energy • GPE=KE • KE=Work (on block) • GPE=Work (hits ball) • GPE=KE • KE=Work (on mouse trap) • EPE=Work (on support) • GPE=KE • KE=GPE • GPE=Work (on cup)
