Marble on incline.

Marble incline is an arcade style game that has you rolling a marble during multiple mazes to complete them as quickly as possible. We tried a small deacon s bench which is 15 5 inches 40 cm high. This experiment follows galileo inclined plane experiment investigating speed and acceleration of balls rolling down an inclined plane. Mark the distance.

Using a water clock galileo measured the time it took for the ball to roll a known distance down the inclined plane. Exploring velocity and acceleration with marble and inclined planes. Predicted and observed marble movement trial marbles on incline number size marbles on ruler number size predicted. 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.

The lower height reduced the speed of the marbles allowing them to settle into the cups without popping back out. We also tried a low stool which is 11 inches 28 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. Olivia lezcano conservation of momentum table 1.

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. Another example is a marble teetering at the top of an inclined plane. When the rubber band is released and pours out all that energy it had stored up or when the marble begins to fly down the inclined plane that energy is kinetic energy.
