Experience the excitement of The Hellevator, a thrilling ride that propels riders to a height of 54.8 meters before a dramatic drop. With a weight of 910 kg for the seating cart and 12 riders at 55 kg each, the ride offers intense G-forces, accelerating upwards at 2.5g for the first third of the ascent and decelerating before hitting the final 5 meters. Engage in physics questions about potential energy, velocity before descent, and time taken for the full experience. Get ready to explore the science of fun!

The Hellevator is a ride where the riders are sent shooting up to the top and then dropped back down. The highest point in which the rider can reach is 54.8m. The weight of the seating cart is 910kg and there are 12 riders all weighing 55kg who are riding.
Questions…… 1) What is the potential Energy at the top of the tower? 2) The ride accelerates upwards at 2.5g towards the top of the tower for the first 1/3 of the trip and decelerates at –g until it reaches the final 5.00m of the tower. What is the velocity 5m before the end of the tower 3) a) For the final 5.00m, the brakes engage to decelerate the cart at a constant rate. Calculate the deceleration. b) What is this is in g’s? 4) How long does it take for the trip up?
