Roller Coasters By: Mr. Hunter

What do you think engineers need to consider when designing a coaster?

Engineers need to consider Safety of riders Height Restraints (Ex. Everest Expedition) Law Energy of car

Why does the first hill have to be the highest point on a coaster? Because the _____ energy must be the highest at the top of the first hill. PE depends on the mass of the car and the height (gravity).

What “drives” a roller coaster? http://www.learner.org/interactives/parkphysics/index.html

2. What are two types of wheels on a coaster car?

3. Explain the advantage of a wooden coaster 3. Explain the advantage of a wooden coaster. Explain the advantage of a steel coaster.

4. Describe the relationship between the height of the first hill and the speed of a coaster.

5. Why will a hill slightly higher than the first be a good design to provides ‘thrill’ for a rider?

6. Why are roller coaster loops not a perfect circle?

7. How does friction play a role in coaster design?

8. How does gravity play a role in coaster design?
