Roller Coaster Science
Principles
-
- 1. Define the following:
- potential energy
- definition
- formula to calculate potential
energy
- kinetic energy
- friction
- maximum velocity
- positive acceleration
- negative acceleration
- inertia
- Newton's Laws of Motion
- centripetal force
- gravity
- the gravity of earth is:
- G forces
- clothoid loop
- conservation of momentum
- work
- 2. How do you calculate how fast the marble
is moving?
- 3. Where on the coaster is the potential
energy at its maximum?
- 4. Where on the coaster is the potential
energy equal to zero?
- 5. Where on the coaster is the kinetic
energy at its maximum?
- 6. Where on the coaster is the kinetic
energy equal to zero?
