Overview
This milestone is due in Module Three and you will provide a basis for the development of the final project by using the concepts from the class to describe in words the interactions that explain the motion observed in the selected stage of your device. If you have not begun the design of a device, provide a reference to a device that you have found. Your submission will describe qualitatively what is going on during the selected step and at the transitions to/from the neighboring steps.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Step Selection: Select a step or stage in the Rube Goldberg device. Provide a concise description of the step.
II. Selected Step A. Initial Velocity: Calculate the initial velocity of the object in the selected step. What does the initial velocity of the object tell you about the behavior of the object? B. Velocity and Force Calculations: Calculate the change in velocity that would be observed based on kinematics and force principles. Then, use Newton’s Second Law to calculate the force acting on the object.
