Task Description/Overview
Wild Adventures Amusement Park is losing business because their boring rides cannot
compete with their rival, Six Flags Theme Park. The public is threatening to ban the theme
park unless they get more exciting rides.
You and your team of roller coaster engineers has just been asked to submit a new roller
coaster design to the amusement park. Using the concepts discussed in our Force & Motion
unit, design and build a model of a workable roller coaster that could be used to entice
customers that visit Wild Adventures.
Upon request of the customers, your roller coaster MUST have at least one hill. 2 loops and
5 turns. You will need to be able to explain/present your roller coaster to Wild Adventures’
board of directors. You will need to include in your explanation how inertia, forces, friction,
speed, acceleration, Newton’s Laws, gravity, centripetal force and air resistance play a part
in your design.

Introduction: Wild Adventures Amusement Park is losing business because their boring rides cannot compete with their rival, Six Flags Theme Park. The public is threatening to ban the theme park unless they get more exciting rides. You and your team of roller coaster engineers has just been asked to submit a new roller coaster design to the amusement park. Using the concepts discussed in our Force & Motion unit, design and build a model of a workable roller coaster that could be used to entice customers that visit Wild Adventures. Upon request of the customers, your roller coaster MUST have at least one loop, at least one turn/curve, and at least one hill. You will need to be able to explain/present your roller coaster to Wild Adventures’ board of directors. You will need to include in your explanation how inertia, forces, friction, speed, acceleration, Newton’s Laws, gravity, centripetal force and air resistance play a part in your design. Rules 1) Your roller coaster must fit within the confines of your construction area and must be able to fit through the classroom door. 2) You may use any supplies that you need for your project, but you will need to supply these materials. Great roller coasters can be built with household items, so there is no need to purchase extra materials. 3) Your roller coaster must move an object (such as a marble or car) through at least 1 hill, 2 loops and 5 turns turns to the end of the track. Length of the track is at least 150 cm, and the height is between 30cm and 100cm. Drops and jumps are permitted, but the marble must be safely caught by the track without getting stuck or falling off. 4) Do not disturb other group’s roller coaster. This will result in an automatic loss of 5 marks, and removal from the class for the rest of the project. 5) Your group is responsible for completely cleaning up your area each day. Failure to do so will result in a 5 point deduction from your grade.

m. Calculate the speed and acceleration of your coaster and display on your project.
n. What is the total force that the object applies to the coaster?
Measure and record the following measurements for your roller coaster. These calculations need to be
displayed on or beside your coaster.
Time of ride = (seconds)
Mass of the marble/object = (kg)
Length of the track = (meters)
Using the measurements above, calculate the following items for your roller coaster. Please show all of
your work and label all of your answers with the correct units!!!!
Average speed of the ride (remember your speed equation???)
Acceleration of marble from start to any point on your coaster. (Use the above speed as your “final velocity”)
The Force at one location on your roller coaster. F = M x A
(Use your acceleration from above)
Calculate the potential energy at the highest point on your ride: P.E= mgh
࢜
Calculate the average kinetic energy at the bottom of one of your hills: K.E =
