The Paper Ball Run Challenge is an engineering challenge to design and construct a paper and tape structure that maximizes a ball's travel time from a start point to at least 10 inches high to an exit at least 1 inch tall. The design must manage potential energy (height) and kinetic energy (speed), with friction serving as a key factor in slowing the ball down.
Congratulations on a successful challenge.
Great project – lots of good science here!
