We propose to enhance the utility of "Amusement Park Physics" events for physics instruction by collecting high resolution inertial data from a large variery of popular and interesting rides using a data acquisition system with sensors for three axes each of acceleration and rotation. The data will be processed and displayed by multimedia software to be written in Java to allow cross-platform and intenet usage. The displays will include an animated re-creation of the ride with vector diagiams attached to the moving cart, bar graphs showing scalar quantities such as potential and kinetic energy, and a synchronized video display. The program and data will be published on CD ROM with accompanying printed supplementary text. Also smaller related applets will be made available at the Porterville College web site. Access to the detailed inertial data for real roller coasters makes many physical phenomena accessible to investigation that would otherwise be subject to little more than speculation. This powerful tool allows classes to return from an amusement park event and continue the discovery process over the following weeks. During the initial phases, the program and data will be tested and evaluated in the physics, physical science, and calculus classes at Porterville College and in classes at the two local high schools.

我们建议通过使用带有传感器的数据采集系统从大量流行和有趣的游乐设施中收集高分辨率惯性数据，从而增强物理指导的“游乐园物理学”事件的实用性，每个轴每个轴，每个轴，每个轴的加速度和旋转。 该数据将由多媒体软件处理和显示，以允许跨平台和Intenet用法编写。这些显示器将包括对骑行的动画重新创建，其中包含向矢量插在移动购物车上的矢量迪亚吉亚姆人，显示标量量（例如电势和动能）的条形图，以及同步的视频显示。 该程序和数据将在CD ROM上发布，并附有附带的印刷补充文本。 同样，较小的相关小程序将在Porterville College网站上提供。 访问真正的滚筒垫圈的详细惯性数据使许多物理现象可以被调查访问，否则这些现象将不仅仅受到猜测的影响。这种强大的工具使课程可以从游乐园活动中返回，并在接下来的几周内继续发现过程。 在最初的阶段，将在波特维尔学院的物理，物理科学和微积分课程以及两所当地高中的课堂上进行测试和评估。
