Back to Challenges
Here is how the class of 2001 solved the problem.
The Challenge:
Create something where a ball will remain for 30 sec after a trigger is activated and then leave the object at a velocity of 1.00 m/s.

Students were graded on time the ball was in their apparatus and the velocity it emerged. They worked alone or in groups.
