The student is responsible for: . developing a plan which involves dividing up each phase of the project into a variety of tasks and designating certain tasks as the responsibility of certain individuals. a well-defined project proposal based on background reading which includes (1) a statement of the purpose, (2) a step-by-step procedure for constructing a model (or collecting video footage) and collecting data via measurements, and (3) a clearly-defined plan for interpreting measured data and for making comparisons with idealized motion predicted by the computer programs.

Ray Ueberroth American Coaster Enthusiasts LaMarcus Thompson Coney IslandThe Physics of Roller Coasters Project: Your project involves the analysis of the physics of a variety of amusement park rides, particularly roller coaster rides. You will identify and explore a_r1_um_l_)_r_e_r__gf_ variables which would affect the motion of passengers on such rides. By the end of this project, you should be able to: 0 describe the motion ofa roller coaster car and its occupants in terms of concepts such as speed, acceleration [both linear and centripetal), net forces, normal forces, friction forces, momentum, and energy [KE, PE, TME}; this description should be both mathematical and conceptual. - utilize computer programs (e.g., Interactive Physics, the Rollercoaster HyperCard stack, and the Apple II Amusement Park Physics program) _i_r_I__c_)_r_cl_er__t_g analyze the idealized motion ofa variety of amusement park rides. . utilize available materials [e.g., wires and washers, hot wheels equipment, metal track and accompanying ball, phonographic turntable, etc.) to construct a model of an amusement park ride (coaster ride, pendulum ride, flume ride, spin ride, tilting ride, etc.) and use it to make measurements and to experiment with a number of variables which effect the motion of passengers on amusement park rides. Your teacher will provide: a timely guidance and advice to get [and keep) your project moving. 0 directions and manuals for the use of Interactive Physics. . a set of scoring rubrics to guide your performance and to access your completed project
