 You reach the top of the ramp and realize that there is no more track left and launch into oblivion. There is a 20-meter horizontal gap between the ramp launch and another platform 16 meters high. Where do you land horizontally on this new platform? This is related to part 2.
+====== Project 5: Part B: Old Equipment Curling ======
+You are a gaggle of scientists who have invented an incredibly expensive new form of the
+game curling. An old spectrometer has been boxed up in a wooden box and is ready for
+removal to the great lab in the sky after doing its bit for science. The spectrometer has been
+placed at the top of a concrete ramp, and you all have created a scoring zone at the base
+of the ramp based on how far the box moves past the ramp. Teams have been made, lines
+have been drawn, and reputation is on the line. Your team decides to science the shit out of
+this game and creates a computational model of the motion of the box when it starts with
+no push. Alas, your programmer has ingested far too many beverages and the model does
+not seem to be working correctly. Your turn is coming up, create a more accurate model
+that predicts the motion of the box to the end of the ramp in order to help you to become
+victorious. (Hint: you really have to consider the coordinate system of an inclined plane and how it would translate to code).

+The all-powerful and all-seeing Amazon is doing tests on their new drone delivery system. They are creating computational models to model the motion of boxes as they experience different scenarios. Your group will be in charge of modeling one of the scenarios. You need to create a model of the box moving along the conveyor belt and then dropping down the open chute. You need to ensure that you create a working model where the box will drop through the chute without hitting the sides. The box is made of wood and the conveyor belt is made of rubber. Make sure the model indicates the size of all the forces acting on the box at all times.
