Designing a Fairground ride How can we demonstrate our knowledge and understanding of Electricity and Forces? 1. Name all the forces in your ride 2. Magnetic forces- are they being used and how? 3. Electricity – voltage and current – how is electricity being used in your ride? 4. Energy transfers – what energy transfers are there in your ride? 5. Friction and lubricants – is friction being increased or decreased to make your ride go faster or slower? How are you doing this? 6. Speed and Acceleration – Calculate how fast your ride is? When does your ride accelerate? When does it decelerate?

Designing a Fairground ride• How can we demonstrate our knowledge and

understanding of Electricity and Forces?1. Name all the forces in your ride2. Magnetic forces- are they being used and how?3. Electricity – voltage and current – how is electricity being

used in your ride?4. Energy transfers – what energy transfers are there in your

ride?5. Friction and lubricants – is friction being increased or

decreased to make your ride go faster or slower? How are you doing this?

6. Speed and Acceleration – Calculate how fast your ride is? When does your ride accelerate? When does it decelerate?
