a) The simple machines we plan to use are levers, screws, pulleys, and incline planes. We will use levers for dominoes to set off a mouse trap and then also to release the golf ball. We will use pulleys to turn on the light and to raise a weight to hit the golf ball down the ramp. We will use screws to hold the golf ball in place. Lastly, we will use incline planes to slow the marble down.
b) The energy transformations we will use are GPE, KE, Chemical to electrical, and then gravitational energy to kinetic. GPE is used when the marble rolled down the planes. Chemical to electrical is used when batteries turned on a light.
c) Bobby Buell made the lever for the marble and contributed during his free periods. Will McCaddon planned out the launching incline planes and came during his free's. Ryan Libby made the mouse trap and the water bottle filled with bird seed. Austin Koehler made the weight in which the bottle lifted it to hit the lever.
