 Roller Coaster Design- Michael Faraday

 

 

Picture of roller coaster design

 

 

Why did your roller coaster fail?

 

 The start of my ride (60 M) was not the best choice for  the speed. Because it failed half way through in the loop.

Where is the highest potential energy? 

The highest  potential is at the top of the first hill. 

 

Why is it there?

 The highest potential is there because that part is where the coster can fall because it is the highest.

Where is the highest kinetic energy?

The highest kinetic energy is the end of the first hill because it is coming down a hill, and there are no other forces to stop the fast speed.

 Why is it there?

The ball just came out of the top of the hill and as it comes down fast it will go through the bottom and go through the rest of the ride with the maximum speed.

 

 

 

Where is the lowest potential energy?

The lowest potential energy is at the start and the end of the ride

 

Why is it there?

Because at the beginning of the ride the ball cannot fall any further.  At the end of the ride it has the same potential energy because it has nowhere to fall.

 

Where is the lowest kinetic energy?

The lowest kinetic energy is at the top of the hill

 

Why is it there?

Because the ball has less speed than a ball going downhill has.
