Objective
The objective of doing this project is to illustrates the concept of circular
motion and electricity which is used as the main concept in this project
Introduction
Physics exists everywhere around us . There are plenty of
physics concepts that we can usually observed in our daily life. In this
that we will use in our project is circular motion. The ferris wheel will be
made from popsicle stick which made it strong enough to stand. The ferris
Materials
Popsicle sticks Cardboard
Latex glue
Motor
Circular saw
Ruler
Discussion of design
The design was based on the actual ferris wheel. The ferris wheel
will contain the basket, base, body of the ferris wheel, and hole to put the
motor inside. We make the weight and the measurement of the ferris
wheel balance to make it be able to hold the body of the ferris wheel and
move. We use the red-wine colour to decorate the ferris wheel and use
white colour to paint the basket. The hole need to be measure in the size
that the motor can be able to fit in it. All part of the ferris wheel was
created by the popsicle. We use Latex glue to hold each part of the
popsicle because its work the best for wood material. All the part of ferris
wheel need to be in same size of each other. Otherwise, the ferris wheel
will not be able to move.
Data
Analysis of data
If we make the body of the ferris wheel bigger, the acceleration
will be
Conclusion
Recommendation
- Cut the popsicle accurately to prevent the error of the size of
the ferris wheel.
- Choose the motor that has enough power to make the ferris
wheel move.
- Make every basket equal to each other, so the overall look of
the ferris wheel is beautiful.
- Make the stick that we use to hold the basket equal to each
other, to prevent the ferris wheel from unable to rotate.
