An experimental roller coaster is being designed. To test the new design a scale model is constructed and shown above. The ride works as follows: A 2kg solid sphere is connected to the end of a 6rn bar of mass 1kg to form a pendulum. The pendulum is released from the horizontal position as shown. The pendulum swings down and collides elastically with a 2kg car. The car travels along the track to the right. The track is frictionless except for a rough 3m section used for speed control. The car travels through a vertical loop and then collides 3nd sticks to a second identical car. The two cars leave the track by flying off a cliff and land on a vertical spring. The spring compresses and stops the two cars and then launches them straight up into the air. At this point the engineers plan for a parachute to deploy and land the riders safely in the large pool of blue water. In order to minimize lawsuits, the legal department has set the maximum landing velocity in the large pool of blue water at 5 m/s.
