Why Build a Virtual Roller Coaster?
There are several websites that offer model simulators to help you build a roller coaster. You can do this just for the fun of it, especially if you are a hobbyist or a roller coaster fanatic. Educationally speaking, teachers use these types of simulators to help students learn the basics of physics. Teaching them via the Internet can better explain the dynamics behind these thrill rides such as: • Kinetic energy • Potential energy • Inertia • Gravity • Velocity • G-force • Friction • Centripetal acceleration • Conservation of energy Roller coaster designers use similar software to create rides for amusement parks. Since roller coasters are usually custom-made, engineers have a lot of room to be creative. Simulations allow them to choose basic, suspended, straight or looping tracks. These programs also allow them to take the environment, design elements and even the park’s budget into account when creating the ride. Once the roller coaster is virtually designed, engineers can start bui
