Punahou Carnival
On friday February 6 2009, my friends and I went to Punahou Carnival. At the carnival, there was tons and tons of physics everywhere! From the rides to the lights and all the electrons flowing through all the wires!
On the ferris wheel, there is so much physics going on! First, depending on which thing you're in, your potential energy and kinetic energy changes as you go around. Also, it is going in a circular motion there for centripetal force is being applied.
On the Pharaoh's Fury, it is also experiencing centripetal motion, however it isn't a full circle. The kinetic and potential energy as well is constantly changing.
And the same goes for the last ride. the force of Gravity is pulling the people on the ride down converting its potential energy into kinetic energy and vice versa.
