  1. Marble Roller Coaster Nathan Moran, Roshani Desai, Tony Zommer

  2. Agenda • Team Roles • Problem • Brainstorming • Research • Explore Possibilities • Final Design • Prototype • Testing • Results

  3. Team Roles • Nathan- Leader • Roshani- Scribe • Tony- Timekeeper

  4. Problem • We have been hired by Six Flags to design their new roller coaster; it is to be faster and more thrilling than any other coaster in the world.

  5. Roller Coasters • Driven almost entirely by basic inertial, gravitational, and centripetal forces. • No engine or power source of their own. • Train is moved by gravity and momentum mostly. • Chain Lift  Catapult-launch Lift • Brakes

  6. Loops

  7. Physics • Potential Energy • Kinetic Energy
