Marshmallow Experiment

Professor Orbax and his assistant Sweet Pepper Klopek guide viewers through an experiment to break the Guinness World Record for the most marshmallows caught in the mouth with a homemade catapult in one minute. The video outlines the materials needed, assembly instructions, and guidelines for the attempt. It also explains the scientific principles of energy transfer involved in the experiment.

What is the maximum size allowed for the marshmallows used in the experiment?

• 1.5 inches or 3.8 centimeters

• 2 inches or 5 centimeters

• 1 inch or 2.5 centimeters

• 2.5 inches or 6.3 centimeters

What is the minimum distance required between the catapult and the catcher for the record attempt?

• 4 meters

• 2 meters

• 1 meter

• 3 meters

How many marshmallows can be fired at a time during the record attempt?

• Four

• Three

• Two

• One

What type of energy is stored in the catapult before it is released?

• Kinetic energy

• Electrical energy

• Thermal energy

• Potential energy

What happens to the potential energy stored in the catapult when it is released?

• It is converted into electrical energy

• It remains as potential energy

• It is converted into thermal energy

• It is converted into kinetic energy
