Question

Cedar Point Physics Worksheet.

Show all work. Assume that the average rider is 60 kg and the average car is 300 kg. You may need to calculate how many passengers fit in a car or how many cars there are on a ride.

Using the largest angle of deflection of Ocean Motion, determine the value of g. (period = 7.78 s, height = 15 m).

Answer 1

Total mass of car is 300 Kg and mass of rider is 60 Kg, then number of riders that can fit in the car is

masso f car massofrider 300 60

The largest angle of deflection of ocean motion means vertical circular motion and its time period is given by

2 4π (3.14)2 × 4 (770), × 9.77 m/s = .
