Amusement Park Physics, 2nd Edition: Supplemental Materials
written by Clarence Bakken
These materials are written to supplement the book Amusement Park Physics, 2nd Edition by Clarence Bakken. They include descriptions of contests, projects, and demonstrations related teaching physics through amusement park rides. There is also a set of short histories of Physics Day at four amusement parks to provide ideas for improving these events, examples of data taken on amusement park rides, and a Powerpoint presentation on vertical loops on roller coasters.

The Amusement Park Physics book will be available from the AAPT store in the Spring of 2011.

4. The Physical Setting

4F. Motion
  • 6-8: 4F/M3b. If a force acts towards a single center, the object's path may curve into an orbit around the center.
  • 9-12: 4F/H1. The change in motion (direction or speed) of an object is proportional to the applied force and inversely proportional to the mass.
