Turkish Twist
Canobie Lake Park Physics Day May 18, 2012
Ride diameter = 14 feet

This video was used by my honors and AP Physics students to collect data to verify their theoretical models. Before going on the field trip, student lab groups chose a ride, found photos and video of the ride, then created a theoretical physical model to predict the forces/acceleration riders would experience. Using their model (equations), the students developed graphs of acceleration vs. time in three dimensions in Microsoft Excel.

At the park the students use a cell phone app (see https://isenseproject.org/) to collect 3-axis acceleration, time, GPS position, magnetic field data, etc. I also set up a tripod to capture video data that was analyzed using Vernier LoggerPro video analysis tools.
