When a rider reaches the top of a pendulum ride, she experiences a feeling of weightlessness. Make sure not to eat a big meal before riding a pendulum!The Huss Frisbee ride has also been one of the most popular rides in the manufacturer’s line, with installations in parks around the world. 17 0 obj endobj

Contrary to the feelings of weightlessness felt at the top of the ride, a rider will usually feel high gravitational forces pulling on him as he reaches the bottom of the ride. Think about going or any type of roller coaster ride is that it has to be memorable. This is the equation of motion for the pendulum. %PDF-1.4 At the top of a pendulum ride, this person would feel less than this normal sensation of weight. 8 0 obj
