**__ Description/ Energy Changes __** A.)Roll baseball into dominoes. (Kinetic Energy) B.)Dominoes hit baseball. (Mechanical Energy) C.)Ball rolls down ramp. (Potential/ Gravitational Energy) D.) Ball falls into bucket. (Kinetic Energy) E.)Ball weighs down bucket. ( Kinetic Energy) F.)Object on opposing end of string rises. (Mechanical Energy) G.)Opposing object hits lever. (Potential Energy) H.)Lever then forces hand down, causing it to hit a button, awakening the computer. (Kinetic Energy)

Description: In our diagram of the Rube Goldberg experiment, we used many objects. We used Newton balls, dominoes, a small race car, a race car track, a cup with three dominoes in it, and a pointy finger. We used the Newton balls to start off the diagram. The Newton balls were used to hit the dominoes; after the dominoes fell they hit the car. As the car rolled down the race car track, they car hit a cup of dominoes; The cup broke and went up causing the pointy finger to go down a wake the computer up.

Description:

The remote control sends a electromagnetic energy to the car and changing to kinetic energy as the car goes forward, knocks the book over and that will hit the golf ball. The gravitational potential energy of the golf ball changes to kinetic energy as the ball rolls down the binder running into the dominos causing them to knock the ball off the table and as the ball falls it hits the computer waking it up.
