Rollercoaster Physics

How much further can physics take the thrill?
Below are a few facts to amaze your physics teacher!

In order to break the sound barrier on a rollercoaster the drop required would have have to be 55555m (5.55km).

The excitment of higher speeds can be achived by building rollercoasters to greater heights; but doubling the drop only increases the speed by 40%!

Excessive G forces have unpleasent effects on the body because blood rushes to the head or feet, depending on which way up you are! Blood rushing to your feet causes a black-out whilest blood rushing to your head causes a red-out!

A ''hypercoaster'' is a rollercoster with a drop greater than 200 feet!
