1. Preliminary Analysis [Nazihah] This problem is to obtain the maximum amount of fun Bessie can have when riding a roller coaster without getting sick‚ in which case without exceeding her dizziness limit. The constraints of the problem include: a. The roller coaster has a distinct number of sections that Bessie rides in order. b. Bessie’s fun and dizziness levels are both at 0 at the beginning of the ride. c. For each section‚ Bessie has two options either to keeps her eyes open or close and she

Projectile Motion PHYS111 Formal Report 2 University of Canterbury Campbell Moulder Abstract The force of gravity is said to be a constant of 9.81 ms-2 (3). This can be proved by measuring the projectile motion of a bouncy ball and plotting a ∆Vertical Velocity vs. Time graph‚ the gradient of which should equal the constant force (acceleration due to) of gravity. Our gradient value of 10.26±0.49 ms-2 is consistent with the actual value of 9.81 ms-2. Introduction A projectile is an

What Makes A Ride Thrilling? Year 11 Physics ERT Introduction Theme parks have always been a source of thrills and amusement‚ as well as major source of tourist revenue. As celebrated coaster designer John Allen states: “You don’t need a degree in engineering to design roller coasters‚ you need a degree in psychology” (Focus‚ 2009) For decades‚ thrill rides have implemented psychological thrills such as long upward climbs building anticipation‚ surprise twists and turns‚ and hills that

Changing Times Change! Stronger than titanium‚ the tides created by the moon‚ and the force of gravity that connects our universe! “The Seafarer” and “Nothing Gold Can Stay” both demonstrate that if you eliminate the glamour of our materialistic society‚ you will discover we live in a Glided Age. “The Seafarer” begins with an old sailor telling his tale of traveling the treacherous seas. He reflects on his difficult experiences‚ and he has an epiphany. He comes to the realization that the glory

Pendulum Problems ACTIVITY 1: Copy and paste the example problem and the steps‚ so that the steps are in the correct order into a new Word document and upload it to Moodle. Example Problem 1: A hypnotist swings her watch from 20.0cm chain in front of a subject’s eyes. What is the period of the swing of the watch. Thus‚ we see that the pendulum used by the hypnotist has a period of 0.898s. | Before we can use this formula‚ however‚ we must ensure all our variables are in the correct units.
