Ball Rolling Down A Track

I know my son will get alot of play and enjoyment out of this toy for along time.

Ball rolling down a track.

The two balls go along together for the first part of the race. That doesn t sound too fast until you try to stop. So you get the following. The more waves in the track the greater the fall required.

So when you roll a ball down a ramp it has the most potential energy when it is at the top and this potential energy is converted to both translational and rotational kinetic energy as it rolls. As a guide the track looks nice with at least three peaks and three valleys. The displacement of the cart along the ramp s is 5 0 meters. The ball on the dipped track gets to the end first and wins the race.

The answer is b. The initial velocity along the ramp v i is 0 meters second. And the acceleration along the ramp is. Racing a cart down a ramp.

As the ball on the dipped track goes down its horizontal velocity increases so it gets ahead. I am very impressed with the ball track roll n roll n roll. Watch this video till the end to get access to more free science expe. To compare the kinetic energy of a ball rolling down a curved ramp and a striaght ramp.

You will need a little rotational velocity or at least a slight downward ramp to the track to start the ball moving otherwise gravity pulls it straight down and there it will sit when it hits the track. When it returns to its original level it slows down to its original horizontal speed but in so. Wavy track this track consists or several up and down sections of track. The track can be either straight or curved.

Why did you create the ball from a cylinder rather than revolve a half circle or better yet use the sphere command. Rolling ball guide the ball and keep it on the track to reach the finish line. This works out to v f 7 0 meters second or a little under 16 miles hour.
