Marbles in Motion

Marbles in Motion

In our "Marbles in Motion" test, we decided that we could make a small "marble run" with the measuring tape. Pulling this tight made a marble rail on which we could see the distance of the spheric object. Here is the table:

Small Marble / Distance: 347 cm / height: 2 cm / Estimate: 100 cm / Stayed to the end
Ping Pong Ball / Distance: +347 cm / height: 3 cm / Estimate: 300 cm / Stayed to the end
Golf Ball / Distance: 147 cm / height: 3.5 cm / Estimate: 350 cm / Fell off
Giant Foam Ball / Distance: 170 cm / height: 7.5 cm / Estimate: +347 cm / Fell off
Tennis Ball / Distance: 50 cm / height: 5.4 / Estimate: 190 / Fell off
Medium Marble / Distance: 188 cm / height: 2 cm / Estimate: +347 / Fell off
Large Marble / Distance: 144 cm / height: 3 cm / Estimate: 100 / Fell off
Small Foam Ball / Distance: +347 cm / height: 1.5 cm / Estimate: +347 / Stayed to the end
Metal Marble / Distance: +347 cm / height: 1 cm / Estimate +347 / Stayed to the end
