On Friday 10 March the Year 12 Physics class ventured to Luna Park in St Kilda to analyse the motion of some rides in preparation for an assessment. We had a great day and got to try out lots of rides, including the twin dragon, the coney drop and the pharaoh’s curse.
Using tracking software prepared by our teacher, Mr Murphy, we were able to graph the motion of the enterprise (another exhilarating ride) and use this data to form a major part of our Term 1 assessment.
It was a great way to experience physics in the real world and develop a deeper understanding of the concepts covered in class, all while having a good day out at the park.
