Too Tired? Too Anxious? Need More Time? We’ve got your back.
You have been asked by your supervisors at A & L Engineering to design a roller coaster for a new theme park. Because this design is in the initial stages, you have been asked to create a track for the ride. Your coaster should have at least two peaks and two valleys, and launch from an initial between 400 and 600 kilograms. height of 75 metres. Each peak and valley should represent a vertical change of at least 20 metres. In your design, you should plan for a mass. Once you have designed the track, you have been asked to calculate the kinetic energy, potential energy, momentum, and work done by the cart at various points throughout the track. Unless otherwise stated, you can ignore the effects of friction. Following your calculations, you have been asked to describe the energy transfers detailed by these equations.
