Write a Report -- 2

Physics written report. Demonstrate comprehensive understanding of the application of physics to a selected context. TASK: 1. Select ONE ride and research the physics behind it. (((I've chosen ROLLER COASTER))) 2. You need to clearly link key physics ideas together to provide a coherent picture of the physics relevant to your selected context. 3. Describe the ride ( use diagram) 4. What is the physics at each step? And why is it like that ? ( use formulae) QUESTIONS TO ASK: -Where are the energy conversions? -Can you calculate the potential and kinetic energy at various places? -Can you calculate acceleration and/or speed at various places? -What parts of the ride are thrilling/scary and what physics causes this? -Why are parts of the ride the particular shape that thy are? Eg. Why an oval rather that a circular loop in the roller coaster? DATA FOR: Roller Coaster Time for one circuit: 78s Height of roller coaster: 27.432m Fall before loop: 16.75m Radius of loop: 4.77m Mass of one carriage: 1,000kg Height of lift: 26m Length of lift: 57.21m Length of track: 485m Maximum height of track: 27.5m Speed approaching loop: 45 km/h Positive G force entering loop: 2 Negative G force in rear car prior to drop to loop: 0.5 Suggested things to consider: -Energy conversion -Banked corners -Vertical motion in circle -Directional forces in corkscrew or vertical circle -POWER of motor to lift carriages -Calculate speed values at various points -The loop is called clothoid loop. Find out what that is and why it's better than a circular loop. This report must be at least 3-4 papers No Plagiarism Use OWN WORDS
