What force causes the marshmallow to launch out of the cup?
While the marshmallow is in the tube, your blowing increases the air pressure in the tube, creating a force on the marshmallow.
Why do the two marshmallows fly further than the 4 marshmallows?
By blowing as the marshmallow travels along the whole length of the tube, you’re applying a force for longer. This means the marshmallow accelerates for longer, emerges from the tube at a greater speed and flies further.
How will force affect the distance the marshmallow travels?
The amount of force behind an object, affects the distance that an object moves and the speed. When more force was applied to the marshmallow shooter, the marshmallow traveled both farther and faster. The more force behind an object, the farther and faster in moves.
How do you make a rubber band Rocket?
Rubber Band Powered Cup Launcher Gather your materials! Place two rubber bands lengthwise across the cup, making a cross shape over the opening. Add a third rubber band around the cup, to secure the two rubber bands in place. This will be the “rocket.” Done! Get ready to launch!.
How do you make a cup Rocket?

Draw a picture of your own rocket ship and tape it to the side. Place over another flipped-over SOLO Cup. Push down, release and LIFT OFF!.
What type of energy does a bent plastic spoon have?
The person’s chemical energy is transferred to the spoon and converted into elastic potential energy. The more the spoon is bent, the more elastic potential energy is stored.
What force acts on the marble to slow it to a stop?
Friction is the force that slows objects down.” While constructing your marble run, hypothesize about the different materials that will line the tubes.
How do you make a straw rocket?
Making straw rockets is a great playdate activity. Cut a piece of 8 x 11 printer paper into 12 pieces. Decorate the paper. Roll the paper strip loosely around the straw. Tape the roll along the edge to keep it rolled. Fold the top of the paper tube down and tape it. Put the paper tube on the straw – and blow!.

How does a marshmallow catapult work?
When an object IS moving it has kinetic energy. The catapult you make is going to transfer energy from the spring to a marshmallow. The marshmallow will have potential energy until the catapult releases, then the marshmallow will have kinetic energy as it flies through the air.
What is Isaac Newton’s first law?
Newton’s first law: the law of inertia Newton’s first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.
What slowed the marble down?
To slow down the marble, a force has to be applied in the opposite direction from the marble’s motion. Applying a force over a longer period of time results in a greater change in velocity. When we blew harder or more team members blew through their straws, the marble moved faster.
How do you remember inertia?
He kicked the cow and because it hurt her (inertia) she walked a few metres. With this he concluded: A thing will not change its state of motion or rest unless an external force acts on it. Thus the 1st law, known as the law of inertia.
What is a wrist rocket?
(slĭng′shŏt′) A Y-shaped stick or frame having an elastic strap attached to the prongs, used for flinging small projectiles.
How do you make a catapult with straws?
Punch a hole through the edge of the straw opposite the cup. Cut a rubber band and slide it through the hole. Slide the rubber band around the point of the triangle and tie knot. The knot should be tight but it should still allow the straw arm to move.
