A) Which simple machines do you plan to incorporate and how
do you plan to use them?
Our group plans on using a lever, a pulley system, and screws as our simple machines. The lever will be used in the actual launching of the golf ball, the pulley system will be used throughout the movement of the marble, and finally, the screws will help keep the base of the project together.
B) What energy transfers do you plan to incorporate and how will they be demostrated in your project?
One energy transfer we plan on demonstrating is the transformation of GPE to KE with the marble. Also, we will use elastic potential energy that will transfer to KE when the ball is launched.
C) Finally, how has each group member specifically contributed to the project since the start?
We got together to draw up a plan and layout for how we feel we can launch a golf ball as close to the 1 minute mark as possible. Also, we have worked on building the base of the project.
