Physics This milestone will provide a basis for the development of the final project by describing, in words and calculations (using concepts from the class) what is going on in the selected stage of your device. If you have not begun the design, provide a description of a device that you have found (in this case, provide a reference). The discussions from the first two modules of the course can be incorporated into this document. This milestone represents Critical Element I and Parts A and D of Critical Element III. Your submission will describe quantitatively what is going on during the analyzed steps, and will calculate initial velocity, change in velocity, and force for the selected step. PHY 101 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric

The final project for this course is the creation of an Analysis Report. For Milestone One you will submit the Force and Motion Analysis of a Rube Goldberg
Device Step.

This milestone is due in Module Three and you will provide a basis for the development of the final project by using the concepts from the class to describe, in
words and calculations, the interactions that explain the motion observed in the selected stage of your device. If you have not begun the design of a device,
provide a reference to a device that you have found. Your submission will describe quantitatively what is going on with respect to force and motion during the
selected step.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Step Selection: Select a step or stage in the Rube Goldberg device. Provide a concise description of the step.

III. Selected Step

A. Initial Velocity: Calculate the initial velocity of the object in the selected step. What does the initial velocity of the object tell you about the
behavior of the object?

D. Velocity and Force Calculations: Calculate the change in velocity that would be observed based on kinematics and force principles. Then, use
Newton’s Second Law to calculate the force acting on the object.

Guidelines for Submission: Your paper should be submitted as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font,
and one-inch margins.
