Educational Programs Announced By Quassy Amusement & Waterpark

MIDDLEBURY, Conn. - EntSun -- – As the train on the thrilling Wooden Warrior roller coaster zips by, those waiting in the line for the ride might wonder just how fast it is going.

 Students will be able to provide the answer by participating in Quassy Amusement & Waterpark's Fun With Physics, one of the educational programs sponsored by the lakeside property.

 Fun With Physics is 38-page scholastic booklet Quassy prepared which incorporates a variety of experiments using rides within the park. The project has been accredited by the American Association of Physics Teachers.

 One section deals with roller coaster physics and provides the formula for determining the average speed of a coaster. In addition to Wooden Warrior, Little Dipper is another roller coaster in the family-owned park on which the experiment may be conducted.

 Using an accelerometer, students are also encouraged to complete a number of questions related to the gigantic pendulum motion of the Tidal Wave swinging ship.
