Overview
This device performs several steps to complete the simple task of displaying a banner. A hammer swings from its resting position to hit a marble. This ball rolls down multiple ramps, changing direction along the way. Finally the ball hits a car, which rolls down a track, displaying our banner.

Concepts
• Conservation of Translational Energy– Ball falling and rolls
• Conservation of Rotational Energy– Rotating hammer hits ball at rest
• Conservation of Linear Momentum– Ball hits car
• Rotational Motion– Hammer Swinging
• Center of Mass– Car rest with over half of body over the edge

Calculations
• Velocity of hammer– Gh=.5v^2 + .5Iw^2• V=11 ft/sec = 29.3 radians/sec
• Initial Velocity of ball– m1v1+m2v2=m1v1’+m2v2’• V of ball=12.36 ft/sec
• Other calculations could not be performed because the coefficient of restitution could not be found for the ball hitting the car

Cost/Conclusion
• Nothing was purchased. The following is a list of estimated cost.– Toy car: $2– Scrap wood: $4– Marble: $1– Paper, string, cardboard, and other small items: $2– Most expensive purchase was a 4 pack of sharpies that
included the orange sharpie we needed. This was $6• Total Cost: $15• This was the most effective, consistent, and cost
efficient design we could build.
