Document Summary
Estimated time: 1. 0 hour + the animation construction. 1 20 foot vinyl tube: two small steel/chrome balls, masking tape (to tape your roller coaster to the walls, tape measure or meter stick, cup (to catch the balls) This lab is about the thrill of velocity and unbalanced forces we"re talking about roller. In this lab we are going to create a roller coaster that is the fastest and most exciting ride you can build! Your challenge: great america has enlisted your help to create an old fashioned roller coaster that relies solely on the force of gravity and momentum to move the cars. Your first challenge is to create a roller coaster for a steel ball to travel which has at least one complete vertical loop (and ideally 2-3 hills, perhaps spiral, be creative!! Your team should sketch out a design of your roller coaster before you build it: build!
