Bean Project Part 2: Hit Another Bean and Move It

Our free body diagram basically has acceleration as the little box holding the bean goes down to the tower and a little force pushing up on the paperclip while it heads down.

Here are a couple pictures of our project that we took today in class. The object of our project was to hit one bean with another and move it. The little box holding the bean basically moves down the string and then hits the bean sitting on the platform After hitting the bean it would fall and slide through the tower on to the little chute and out the back. We created this model so that we would have gravity helping the little box go down.We also made the string at a steep angle so that it would accelerate as well as ensure that the box would go down.
