steel ball mystery. - Olivia and Kaleb


The ball on the right has greater velocity because as the ball on the left transfers its velocity to a magnet transfers the velocity to the next ball.  it to another pair of steel balls, in which the second steel ball of the pair shoots off with a greater velocity than the first steel ball, this continues until the very last ball gets velocity transferred to it, causing it to shoot off the greatest velocity out of all the steel balls. The magnet not only help transfer velocity of the steel ball to the next, it actually increases the velocity of the steel ball because one side of the magnet has a magnetic pull on one of the steel balls causing the other side of the magnet to repeal the other ball with more force because is absorbed the velocity of the first ball and expels it on the other side with more velocity causing it to speed towards the next magnet that pulls the steel ball towards it...etc. Until it reaches the last steel ball.
