  • A Place Where Learning Is Fun!” Student Manual High School
    ”A Place Where Learning is Fun!” Student Manual High School 1 TO BE READ ON THE BUS ON YOUR WAY TO CAROWINDS! Your bus pulls up to the entrance of Carowinds and you are about to jump out of your seat with excitement. After checking in, you run to the rollercoaster ride you have been hearing about for a year; Fury 325. You are now barreling down the track at 95 miles per hour, taking hairpin turns along its 6,602 feet of track. You’re screaming at the top of your lungs in fear but enjoying every minute of it. The only thing holding you in your seat is a safety harness... but how does physics help keep you in your seat? How do the laws of physics affect amusement park ride design? Today you will learn how the basic principles of physics apply to the amusement rides at Carowinds! All rides create forces through the use of engines…diesel, electric, steam, hydraulic, etc. They use lots of pulleys, gears, levers and other mechanical devices to transfer these forces throughout the ride and eventually to the riders. So why do you feel the forces you experience on the rides? All can be explained by Newton’s Three Laws of motion: 1. An object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest tends to stay at rest until acted upon by an unbalanced force. (Inertia) 2. F = ma (force is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration) 3. For every action (force) there is an equal and opposite reaction (force).
