Page 8: CHS Physics Day at Six Flags

Print out any ride activities put your name them Read (carefully) the

Suggestions for Making Measurements document Read (carefully) the

Student Introduction and Rider Responsibilities document

Read (carefully) each of your packets before Friday. Bring a picture ID so that you can check out a data

collection vest Dress appropriately for the weather (55-74 F) Arrive with pen/pencil, all packets with your name on

them, lunch or lunch money if needed

Be Prepared

Page 9: CHS Physics Day at Six Flags

Be on time 7:40 am at Greyhound Entrance As you get off the bus at the park, keep

track of ticket(s) and equipment bag. Know when and where check-ins are. Plan

to be there on time. Use your map. Plan what rides activities you

will do 1st, 2nd, .... Turn in your labs and equipment bag as you

get on the bus at 2:05pm.

Be Prepared

First Drop

Normal force vs Gravitational Force

Sensation of Weight (Apparent Weight)

FGPE

FNPS

FGPE

Page 16: CHS Physics Day at Six Flags

Weightless zone, well there’s still weight but something is missing. . .

In order to feel weight there must be a "reaction" force.

Draw the force diagram for each situation, what forceis missing from each? What force is present in each? FGPE

Page 17: CHS Physics Day at Six Flags

Initial oscillation, Maximum oscillation

Period (T): Time passing for one revolution is called period. The unit of period is second.

Frequency (f): Number of revolutions per one second. The unit of frequency is 1/second.

Page 18: CHS Physics Day at Six Flags

Tangential speed = distance traveled in a given time interval

Angular speed = number of revolutions in a given time interval

Tangential speed & Angular speed
