Homework Statement
I have constructed a small scale roller coaster for my physics class. I was given the task of finding a track design with a safe and enjoyable ride. For times sake I plan to simply calculate the changes in g-force. I am using a hotwheels car and plastic track. I simply need to know how to go about calculating negative and positive vertical g-force.
Homework Equations
The few I have read about consist of the gravity constant and radius. Realistically radius might not be able to be obtained.
The Attempt at a Solution
I collected the mass of the car, and its acceleration throughout the track, but anything past data collection has not taken place.
