Electric Ferris Wheel Project Overview

1) The document describes the construction of an electric ferris wheel project to illustrate concepts of circular motion and electricity. 2) The ferris wheel is made from popsicle sticks and powered by a motor. It moves in a circular motion at a constant speed of 0.128 m/s. 3) Data was collected on the speed, distance, time, acceleration, velocity, and radius of the ferris wheel. The analysis found that acceleration decreases with increased radius for circular motion.
