2. The Team

3. Overview
We will drop a golf ball that rolls down a ramp sets off a mouse trap, that’s attached to a string.
The mouse trap will release and the string and release the wood holding the weight.
Finally, the weight will drop and lift the 1kg weight.

4. Energy Conversions Ball Mouse Trap Weight
Gravitational Energy(.0343J) to Potential Energy
Mouse Trap
Spring Potential Energy to Rotational Potential Energy
Weight
Gravitational Potential Energy(23.162J) to Kinetic Energy

5. How Awesome Are We For Building This Great Device

6. Conclusion
The building of the project took about 10 hours. We actually spent more time building than actually planning. Our first Idea actually failed so we had to start over completely from scratch.
Complications
Trouble with weight
Miscalculated energy
Lousy wood
Thank God This Is Over!!
