Marble on incline.

This experiment follows galileo inclined plane experiment investigating speed and acceleration of balls rolling down an inclined plane. The lower height reduced the speed of the marbles allowing them to settle into the cups without popping back out. We tried a small deacon s bench which is 15 5 inches 40 cm high. Conceived as a plan b to a failing project that i was pursuing for lowrezjam 2014 a game jam which celebrated and encouraged the creation of low resolution games and experiences.

Predicted and observed marble movement trial marbles on incline number size marbles on ruler number size predicted. After many trials he observed that the amount of time it took for the ball to roll down the entire length of the ramp was equal to double the amount of time it took for the same ball to only roll a quarter of the distance. Olivia lezcano conservation of momentum table 1. We also tried a low stool which is 11 inches 28 cm high.

Another example is a marble teetering at the top of an inclined plane. Mark the distance. Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. Roll the marble down the longer ramp for increasing amounts of time one second two seconds three seconds etc until the time the marble goes past the end of the ramp.

Using a water clock galileo measured the time it took for the ball to roll a known distance down the inclined plane. Galileo used brass balls and bells mounted on an inclined plane we can use marbles a little opto electronics and.
