*Dominoes missing from the diagram as they are supposed to be near the motor
As seen above, that is our Rough Sketch Schematic of our Rube Goldberg Machine. It has many steps and motions of energy to get to its final destination of turning on the light.
Here we are going to be listing all the steps that it takes to get to the final destination and name all the labelled motions that are presented in the drawing.
STEPS:
1. First the ball is dropped onto the ramp
2. the ball approaches the end of the ramp
3. it makes contact with a bar attached to string
4. The bar is pushed out of the way and allows the ramp to fall
5. The ramp turns on the switch
6. The ball that was initially on the ramp is now falling into a toilet paper roll
7. The ballrolls into a position at the starting of another ramp
8. At the end of this ramp, the ball falls into a cup which is designed so that there is rolling motion when it goes through the cup
9. After the first cup, it falls through another cup which has a big enough hole so that it free falls through
10. After the second cup, the ball continues rolling down another ramp
11. It falls onto the base of the box in a projectile manner and sets itself to keep going
12. It then experiences circular motion as it heads in a circular manner around the base of the box
13. The ball continues rolling and is directed towards the magnets
14. It hits the wire and knocks the wire a bit ahead
15. The magnets are compressed causing the circuit to be complete
16. The motor starts turning due to the circuit being completed
17. The motor pulls on the string which is holding back the main ball from hitting the switch to turn on the light
18. As the motor keeps spinning, it also causes the dominoes to fall over and spell the letter "G" (missing from the diagram)
19. The string releases the ball
20. The Ball hits the switch causing it to turn on the light bulb
MOTIONS (Labelled on diagram):
1. It first starts off with gravitational potential energy which then turns into kinetic energy.
2. Gravitational potential energy
3. Free Fall motion
4. Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy
5. rolling motion
6. free fall motion
7. gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy
8. projectile motion onto the ground
9. circular motion
10. Magnetic energy
11. electric energy
12. circular motion
13. gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy
