hey, i am a year 11 student trying to complete an assignmnt based on the physics in the amusment park 'dreamworld'
i have been ask to change something about a ride and write about safety and thrill factor this would affect, a chose the giant drop ( a free fall ride )
i am planning to change the height of the ride from 120m to 200m , and now trying to calculate g force
so far:
s = -200m
u = 0
v = ?
t = ?
a = -9.8 m/s
on the internet i found an equation for g force:
a / g = g force
a = change in velocity / change in time
g = -9.8
i calculated velocity first
v2 = u2 + 2as
v2 = (0)2 + (2 x -9.8 x - 200)
v2 = 3920
v = 62.1
now i have velocity i tried to work out time
v = u +at
62.61 = o + (-9.8 x t)
62.61 = -9.8 x t
62.61 / -9.8 = t
- 6.39 = t
and that's it i cannot find a way and i am very confused please help i am still learning :(
thank you
