G Scale Tracks

Objective:
Use the wire provided and design a scale model of a roller-coaster ride. The 1 m of wire is to represent a roller coaster track 1 km long. Mount your coaster on cardboard and decorate appropriately. Label at least 7 reference points.

Criteria:
1.Coaster must be to scale (1:1000).
2.Normal force on rider must be ≥ 0 at all times.
3.Maximum acceleration on rider = 6 g.
4.Design coaster to include at least the following points (in any order):
A.top of 1st hill
B.bottom of a hill
C.top of other hill(s)
D.bottom of vertical loop (going into the loop)
E.top of vertical loop (rider is upside down)
F.near end of horizontal loop
G.end of ride

Given:
1.Weight of coaster + passengers is 4.5 x 104 N.
2.Use gravitational field strength of 10 N/kg.

Turn in:
1.Your mounted scale model with reference points indicated.
2.Written work
