Abstract
The article presents a kinetic theory experiment using Squiggle Ball, a spherical cat toy with battery-powered motor and rotor designed to roll and tumble. The experiment aims to demonstrate the concept and mechanism of capture. It also analyzes the fundamental features of the toy and the principles of physics applied to it.
