A) We had to make several changes to our outline. We had to get rid of the original pulley we planned because it just did not flow properly, we also never ended up following through with including a yoyo, we subbed the yoyo with the golf ball in some ways, and we added a new aspect of the falling marble, wood, and bucket idea also.
B) At this point in the process, we are having a tough time figuring out how to use an electrical component. We are not sure how to incorporate this into the design and have it work. Also, we are struggling to make the time limit. It is harder to waste time than we thought.
C) One topic we discussed about in physics was the topic of forces. Gravity applies a force on the marble at the top of the ramp, causing it to go down the course. There was an applied force on the golf ball. The marble applied a force on the ball, causing it to go down the tube. One more topic we discussed in physics class is the idea of projectiles. We launched the gold ball 50cm out of the tube. We calculates the correct angle for it by using kinematics. We were able to get very close to landing at exactly 50cm.
