Honors Physics class midterm Roller Coaster project

Mrs. Tere Ledesma’s Honors Physics class midterm project was Roller Coasters! The coasters had to be built so that they were no more than a meter high, had one loop and a second elevation, and would work with a car (Hot Wheels or similar) and a golf ball. After safely traversing the track, the car and ball had to come to a stop. The students put in practice the lessons of acceleration, gravity, friction, potential and kinetic energy.
