Objective
The objective of doing this project is to illustrates the concept of circular

motion and electricity which is used as the main concept in this project

and it can be apply in daily life.

Introduction
Physics exists everywhere around us . There are plenty of

physics concepts that we can usually observed in our daily life. In this

project, we decided to create an electric ferris wheel. The physics concept

that we will use in our project is circular motion. The ferris wheel will be

made from popsicle stick which made it strong enough to stand. The ferris

wheel will be able to move by using the motor.

Materials
Popsicle sticks Cardboard
Latex glue
Motor

Circular saw

Discussion of Physics concept

1. Newtons second law of motion : It states that,The

acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force
acting on the object, is in the direction of the net force, and is
inversely proportional to the mass of the object. The acceleration is
created by the force. We put the force to make the ferris wheel
move and rotate. The ferris wheel will rotate to the right if the
direction of the force is going to the right, same as the left side.
2. Circular motion :

Discussion of design
The design was based on the actual ferris wheel. The ferris wheel
will contain the basket, base, body of the ferris wheel, and hole to put the
motor inside. We make the weight and the measurement of the ferris
wheel balance to make it be able to hold the body of the ferris wheel and
move. We use the red-wine colour to decorate the ferris wheel and use
white colour to paint the basket. The hole need to be measure in the size
that the motor can be able to fit in it. All part of the ferris wheel was
created by the popsicle. We use Latex glue to hold each part of the
popsicle because its work the best for wood material. All the part of ferris
wheel need to be in same size of each other. Otherwise, the ferris wheel
will not be able to move.

Data

Analysis of data
If we make the body of the ferris wheel bigger, the acceleration
will be

Conclusion

Recommendation
- Cut the popsicle accurately to prevent the error of the size of
 the ferris wheel.
- Choose the motor that has enough power to make the ferris
wheel move.
- Make every basket equal to each other, so the overall look of
the ferris wheel is beautiful.
- Make the stick that we use to hold the basket equal to each
other, to prevent the ferris wheel from unable to rotate.
