Step 1
The Pulley
We pull the string of the
pulley to lift the gate, so
the car can drive down. It
has a MA of 1.

Step 2
The Inclined
Plane
The car rolls down the
ramp and hits the ball
bearing. The car has a
speed of 0.21875 m/s.

Step 3
The Screw
The ball bearing rolls
down the spiral tube. The
impulse of the screw is
0.0012 kg/m/s.

Step 4
The Pegs
The ball bearing hits a
wall and goes down the
pegs. The average MA
of the pegs is 2.625.

Step 5
The Lever
The ball bearing goes down
a little tube and hits the
lever, letting itself and the
blue marble to keep going.
The force of the ball
bearing is 0.13622 N.

Step 6
The Ball Trap
The ball bearing goes into a
hole on the inclined plane
and the blue marble rolls
over it. The blue marble
decelerates 57% after it
goes over the ball.

Step 7
The Collision
The blue marble drops off
the inclined plane and hits
the curve, and it collide
with the clear ball. The
force of the blue ball is
0.02 N.

Step 8
The Wedge
The clear ball drops into the
cup that pulls the wedge out
from under the yellow
marble. The change in the
PE is 0.0057 kg/m/s^2.

Step 9
The Energy
Transfer
The yellow marble falls down
a tube and hits a golf ball
down the inclined plane. The
momentum of the yellow
marble is .0756 kg/m/s.

Step 10
The Oreo Drop
The golf ball rolls down the
inclined plane and collides
into the oreo, causing the
oreo to drop into the bowl
of milk. The KE of the oreo
is 0.0172872 J.
