Designing a Safe Theme Park Ride

Imagine that a local theme park has hired you as a team of engineers
and designers to create a new and thrilling roller coaster ride. The goal
is to design a ride that is not only exciting but also safe for riders. The
roller coaster will consist of various elements, such as steep drops,
loops, and sharp turns.

Tasks for the Group Students:

Physics (Force and Motion): Identify and analyze the key forces
involved in the roller coaster ride, including gravity, friction, and
elasticity. Explain how these forces will affect the design and operation
of different elements of the roller coaster.
Mathematics: Explain what kind of knowledge you need (dimensions,
angles) to ensure a smooth and safe ride. Think about a budget for the
construction of the roller coaster, taking into account material costs,
labor, and ongoing maintenance expenses. Consider pricing strategies
to make the ride financially viable for the theme park.
Biology: Consider the physiological effects of the ride on the human
body. Explore how gravitational force may impact riders. Discuss the
importance of designing the ride to minimize potential health risks.

Art and Design: Create visual representations of the roller coaster


design, considering aesthetics, theme integration, and overall visual
appeal. Discuss how the design choices align with the physics principles
involved.

Computer Science/Engineering: Explore the role of computer


simulations and modeling in testing the roller coaster design virtually
before physical construction. Discuss how technology can be used to
optimize the ride for safety and enjoyment.
