Combineyour knowledge of linear and circular motion into the process of constructing amusement park rides. Builda working amusement park ride/roller coaster. Include an explanation of physics theories applicable toyour ride and biological considerations that ensure safety for human passengers.Teachers: Students may use a K’NEX kit if available.

They have access to a water purifyingdevice, but had no energy source to power it until now. A donation of a new bicycle powered generatorhas just arrived in the village. If an average person can generate 80 W of power while riding a bicycle,how many bicycles would be needed to generate the purifier’s necessary 16.5 kW h daily? Determinethe strengths and weaknesses of this power generation method, and decide whether it would actually beuseful to the village. Finally, compile your research information, comments, and any suggestions you mayhave in a letter to the donor.Literature Connections/Resources:Chastain, Stephen.
