  • In partners or alone, using the concepts of gravity and circular motion (as well as kinematics, energy, and forces), design a roller coaster.
  • The Surprising Health Benefit of Riding Roller Coasters | Travel + Leisure   Skyscraper Vertical Roller Coaster
  • It must have:
    • at least one vertical loop (top: calculate minimum velocity to not fall out, and speed car is actually moving, do they need seatbelts?; bottom: calculate how fast is moving and the g-force felt (g-force = Fn/Fg))
    • at least one horizontal loop (calculate the g-force felt by the riders half-way through loop)
    • at least one hill (first motorized one doesn’t count; calculate velocity at top; will people feel like they are going to fly out of car at the top of the hill? Are seatbelts needed?)
  • Numerical values to use:
    • Start with 900,000J of potential energy at top of motorized hill, 131m high
    • assume 500.J converted to heat energy per meter (saves on friction/heat calculations everywhere)
    • no motorized help once car is brought to top of first hill
    • the car with two riders is 700.kg
    • maximum speed of 240 km/h (67 m/s)
    • g-forces no greater than 6.0g, and only briefly (largest forces are felt at bottom of curves)
    • 1800m of track in total from top of motorized hill to very end
    • Use triangles to calculate distances along slopes; use circumferences to calculate distances along curves; some estimation is ok for distances.
    • Hints:
T 7
  • Continue Roller Coaster
  • What you will hand in:
    • Sketch of your coaster labeled with heights, radii, distances, etc
    • Calculations of speeds and g-forces at each critical point (tops, bottoms, etc), remember to consider loss to heat energy (500.J/m)
    • Calculate the coefficient of friction needed on the final stretch (and how long is that stretch?) to stop your car

    • 5 marks: Add in appropriate formula where they belong.
    • 5 marks: Write a brief summary on the back of the handout describing key concepts/what you learned from this lab. (Do NOT say “I learned what an equipotential line is.” DO say “I learned that an equipotential line is a line connecting points of equal potential (V).”)

  • Key points for Lesson 12 Cathode Rays

    Lots of solving practice in this section. Set two forces or energies equal to each other and then solve for the variable you are looking for. Even be able to solve for “q/m”.

    Deflected? Use: Fm = Fc

    Undeflected? Use: Fm = Fe

    Looking for speed? Use: Ep = Ek

    Magnetic field involved? Use Fc = FB or Fe = FB

    If particles travel parallel to field, then no deflection, so no radius.

    Formula:

    Ep = Vq               Ek = ½mv2         Fe = qE               Fc = mv2/r          FB = qvB              Fg = mg

  • Review: Magnetism so far (Escape Room)

CC: Applying and Innovating; Communicating

  • This is meant to be a fun activity (try not to get frustrated, follow the format!) that tests your understanding of magnetism. You are allowed to use your workbook to help you.
    • Your answers must be typed in the correct format, or they won’t work:
      • Put the answers in order of the colours.
      • Follow the hints (all capitals, no spaces, upper case X for scientific notation, use ^ for exponents, use a period when a decimal is needed, first letter or first 2 letters only and only if told this…)
      • For example: If three answers in colour order are 4.5T [up], 2.3×10^-5N, and multiple choice answer A … you would type in “4.5TUP2.3X10^-5NA” without the quote marks (notice, there are 17 characters in this answer)
    • On a piece of paper, solve each of the problems. Write the room number that each corresponds with at the beginning of that section:
      • Name at top of paper
      • Intro room answer is: ATTRACT
      • Room 1:
        • all the work for the questions in room 1
      • Room 2:
        • all the work for the questions in room 2
      • etc…
    • Submit your piece of paper to Ms. Della when you have completed the Escape Room activity.
    • Hints for each room (decimals, ^, etc all count as a character)
      • Opening screen: has 7 characters in answer (ATTRACT)
      • Room 1: has 5 characters in the answer
      • Room 2: has 9 characters in answer
      • Room 3: has 4 characters in answer
      • Room 4: has 22 characters in answer
      • Room 5: has 10 characters in answer
      • Room 6: has 10 characters in answer
      • Room 7: has 6 characters in answer
