Loop Design Challenge
Design a rollercoaster loop such that the Mini-car makes it around the loop. Measure the forces on the track at the
bottom and the top of the loop and make the force zero at the top of the loop. See Figure 36.
Ski Jump Design Challenge
Design a ramp that will launch the Mini-car as far as possible
away from the edge of the table. See Figure 37.
