Why Six Flags should pick our design...
It's a new unique roller coaster. It's a thrilling ride that makes you second guess your decision of going on because there's a point where there's no track. It starts off with a 5 foot drop and its followed by a loop, but that's not all there's a twist with something that's never been done before, the track ends and you fly through the air down through the inside of a dark Zig Zag.
Beginning
Constant Velocity- Has not moved
Force of Normal- We're dropping it to start
Gravity- Pulling marble down first drop
Potential- Not moving yet, Potential to fall because above ground
Loop
Acceleration- Gain more speed because of gravity at first drop
Gravity- Pulling it down towards ground
Friction- Between marble point b
Kinetic- It's moving
Thermal- Lost some friction
Potential- On loop, not ground
End
Acceleration- It's stopping
Gravity- Pulling down towards ground
Friction- Stopping
Thermal- Friction less
Kinetic- A little bit of kinetic because it's coming to a stop, but mostly thermal
