The project for this course is the creation of an analysis report.

For your project, you'll examine the connection between basic physics concepts and a Rube Goldberg device. Rube Goldberg was a cartoonist known for drawing complex devices that perform simple tasks in an indirect way. Your device will consist of at least three steps that can be isolated and analyzed using classical mechanics. You'll choose a step in your Rube Goldberg device and analyze its interactions with the previous and next steps. You'll calculate energy, velocity, and force as part of your analysis.
