  1. The Redneck Flag Raiser Jake Jones and Dustin Giltnane Section D1 November 30, 2009

  2. The Basics Our device is simple yet effect. It utilizes physics in a complicated mechanical from to complete a simple yet entertaining task. We used a marble, toy truck, tubing and pipe.

  3. The Beginning Our device can be described in a few simple calculations. In order of action. Depicted in the picture Torque(T=RF), Rotational momentum(Iw), and Conservation of energy(mgh=1/2Iw^2+1/2mv^2)

  4. The Jump The next portion of our machine involves projectile motion [(y-yi)=(tan(a)(x-xi)-g/2vi^2(1+tan^2(a)(xxi)^2], Conservation of energy(mgh+1/2mv^2+1/2Iw^2=1/2mv^2+1/2Iw^2) assuming the datum to be at the bottom of the funnel.

  5. The Chevrolet Our next series of events begins when the marble collides with a “T” of PVC applying torque,(T=RF), allowing for tension in the rope to pull out a screw with a force,(F=MA), freeing the truck to accelerate down the ramp while conserving energy, (mgh=1/2mv^2+(1/2Iw^2)4).

  6. Raising the Banner To conclude our machine the toy truck will launch of the ramp, projectile motion, and collide with an upright board, conservation of momentum (m1v1=m1v1+m2v2+m3v3). This will cause the balanced mass center of mass[(ax(T)-ax(H)/(a(T)-a(H),(ay(T)-ay(H)/(a(T)-a(H))]. This inelastic collision allows the weight to fall to the ground while raising the flag with use of a pulley. (conservation of energy)

  7. Hardships During our construction and design process the worst problem we encountered was inability to find necessary parts resulting in a change of device design. A smaller obstacle was aligning parts to provide fluid function. Overall it was a very successful operation.
