Experiment Mr-01
Rolling Uphill
Description: A
'V' shaped wooden rail system is supported so that the open end of the 'V' is
higher than the closed end. A double cone is cut at an angle so that as
the cone rolls on the rails its center of mass is lowered. The cone will
roll uphill if the center of mass is lowered faster than the rail system can raise
it.
Setup
of the 'V' and double cone.
Double
cone rolling up the 'V' incline.
