Can somebody help me with calculating the physics for the Knotts Berry farm Ghost Rider rollercoaster?
centripetal force/acceleration
conservation of energy (potential and kinetic energy)
velocity
the first drop is 33 m
assuming no friction
v=sqrt(2*9.81*33)
25.4 m/s or
56 mph
given the g force rating
F=3.14*g=v^2/r+g
the centripetal force is
2.14 g
So the radius of the first dip must be
r=25.4^2/(2.14*9.81)
30 m
or 98 ft
