Amusement Park Physics
written by the Annenberg Foundation
The Amusement Park Physics Website helps the user to learn more about how physics laws affect the designs of roller coasters, bumper car collisions, carousels, free fall rides, and pendulum rides. A highlight of the site is the opportunity to design a roller coaster and experiment with bumper car collisions.
