Hey
How can i calculate the amount of energy/power required to accelerate my roller coaster on a flat track.
Mass=4500 approximate when loaded
Time=2.64secs to reach top speed
Distance=125m
Velocity=47.248ms-1
I know how to calculate it for a track that rises i can use M*G*H/Time
but my...
thanks
Thanks for that!
Ok so know with this formula
Velocity max=sqaure root (rg tan theta)
can be rearanged to tan theta=v^2/rg
thanks for the help on that
Hey I am doing a assignment on Roller coaster physics and i am to design a Roller coaster taking all the aspects of physics.
I am stuck at my banked curve i don't know what formula to use to find the angle of the curve.
I have seen this formula in the forums
Tan theta=v^2/rg
but the...
