1 QUALTATVE QUESTONS Highland Fling 1. Observe the Highland Fling as it is just starting to spin. How are the rider s bodies oriented relative to the spokes of the ride? 2. Continue to watch the ride as it changes from horizontal to vertical. How are the rider s bodies oriented relative to the spokes of the ride? 3. Why do the cars change their positions? 4. Compare the tangential speed of a car to the tangential speed of the middle of a spoke. Explain! 5. Compare the angular speed of a car to the angular speed of the middle of a spoke. Explain! 6. Consider the diagram to the right. When the ride is spinning vertically, at what point: a. are you going fastest? b. are you going slowest? c. do you feel heaviest? V d. do you feel lightest? Physics Day Six Flags St. Louis Highland Fling - 1

2 Highland Fling QUALTATVE QUESTONS (continued) 7. Take accelerometer readings (actually a measurement of the Normal Force/ mass ratio) at positions,,, and V when the ride is vertical and when it is horizontal. Horizontal... V. Vertical... V. 8. Are your answers for 6 c and d consistent with your accelerometer readings? Explain. (Note: See the acceleration portion of the Suggestions for Making Measurements part of the manual for a detailed explanation of how to interpret the accelerometer readings when the accelerometer is oriented vertically.) Highland Fling - 2 Physics Day Six Flags St. Louis

3 QUANTTATVE QUESTONS Highland Fling 1. Determine the circumference of the ride. (Find the circumference of the ride by walking around the ride and counting your paces before you get on.) 2. Determine the time for one revolution when the ride is at full speed. 3. Calculate the radius of the ride. 4. Calculate the tangential speed of the ride. 5. Draw the free-body diagram for a rider when the ride is at rest. 6. Calculate the centripetal acceleration and normal force experienced by a 60.0 kg rider at points - V for the diagram when the ride is at rest. Top view of ride at rest V Calculated Acceleration: Point Point Point Point V Accelerometer Readings: Point Point Point Point V Physics Day Six Flags St. Louis Highland Fling - 3

4 Highland Fling QUANTTATVE QUESTONS (continued) Note: For questions 7, 8, and 9, the cars are not entirely horizontal when the ride is at full speed in its horizontal orientation. Nonetheless, to simplify calculations for this ride, assume that the cars are oriented horizontally. 7. Draw the free-body diagram for a rider at full speed, but while the ride is still horizontally oriented. 8. Calculate the centripetal acceleration and normal force experienced by a 60.0 kg rider at points - V when the ride is at full speed, but while the ride is still horizontally oriented. Ride horizontal at full speed V Calculated Acceleration: Point Point Point Point V Accelerometer Readings: Point Point Point Point V 9. What happens to the accelerometer reading from points to to to V in this situation? Explain! Highland Fling - 4 Physics Day Six Flags St. Louis

5 QUANTTATVE QUESTONS (continued) 10. Draw a free-body diagram for a rider at each of points,,, and V, when the ride is at full speed, but at its maximum vertical orientation. Highland Fling Ride oriented vertically V... V. 11. Calculate the centripetal acceleration and normal force experienced by a 60.0 kg rider at points - V when the ride is at full speed, but at its maximum vertical orientation. (Note: See the acceleration portion of the Suggestions for Making Measurements part of the manual for a detailed explanation of how to adjust the accelerometer readings when the accelerometer is oriented vertically.) Calculated Acceleration: Point Point Point Point V Accelerometer Readings: Point Point Point Point V Adjusted Accelerometer values: Point Point Point Point V Physics Day Six Flags St. Louis Highland Fling - 5

6 Highland Fling QUANTTATVE QUESTONS (continued) 12. What happens to the accelerometer reading from points to to to V in this situation? Explain! 13. Why are your adjusted accelerometer readings for the vertically oriented ride nearly the same as the accelerometer readings for the horizontally oriented ride at full speed? 14. Compare the magnitude and direction of the force the seat exerts on the rider at position (as calculated in question 11) to the magnitude and direction of the force the seat exerts on the rider at position V. Explain! Highland Fling - 6 Physics Day Six Flags St. Louis
