Physics Calculations for Marble Dynamics

The document contains 8 calculations related to motion and mechanics. Calculation 1 finds the velocity of a marble rolling down a ramp by measuring its time over different lengths of the ramp and taking the average. Calculation 2 determines the potential energy of a marble sitting 0.7 meters above the ground. Calculation 3 calculates the kinetic energy of the marble rolling at 0.4 m/s. The remaining calculations involve momentum, conservation of momentum, hang time, mechanical advantage, and work.
