Presentation Transcript

  1. Three Blind Mice • Andie Lyons • Chris Manning • Courtney Miller • Dana Zeitlin

  2. Overview of Structure • Wood for structure • Triggered by mousetraps • Styrofoam structure with zigzag track • Funnel for rotational motion • Used gravity for acceleration

  3. Energy Conversions • Has PE at top and KE at bottom • Perfectly elastic collisions down ramp

  4. Energy Conversions • Projectile motion into funnel • Torque about light switch

  5. Issues • Mouse trap accuracy and reliability • Shooting marble into funnel through tube • Structural support • Accidental mouse trap triggering

  6. Conclusions • The construction process was challenging but entertaining and fun • We learned that time really does fly by • We learned real world applications to the physics taught in this course • Creativity is key
