Force and Motion in Concerts
Force and Motion Blog
By Amadi Clemens
INTRODUCTION:
Do you listen to Travis Scott? If so, you know of his most recent album AstroWorld has been on tour. One of his recent shows (in Oakland, California) he performed with a roller coaster. Crazy, right? It wasn’t like a full roller coaster that you see Six Flags. It’s like the Ring of Fire at Clementon Park. His ring ties into his theme park theme!
PROS AND CONS:
There are pros and cons that follow this event. A pro is that it was a fresh idea.
I’ve seen amusement parks and rides in music videos but never live in concert. Another pro is that it was eye-catching and entertaining.. The main idea of a concert is that it is entertaining, this is going back to the idea of fresh.
A con is that it’s very dangerous. Although thrilling, what if something goes wrong? What if it breaks? What if it stops mid-way in the year and he can’t rap anymore? Mechanical service would have to come and get him and that can ruin the concert. Another con, what id he falls out of the ride mid-air? That can cause head trauma and severe damage to the brain along with broken bones. He would be injured and not able to finish the rest of his concert.

FORCE AND MOTION:
Force and motion are used like any ordinary roller coaster, except is goes in a circular motion. The force makes the coaster speed up, slow down and change direction. Since there is no hill, the coaster needs to use more force to keep it going. Normally, roller coasters use gravitational force to pull the cart throughout the ride. This specific loop uses normal force. Motion is the change is position of the cart.
PREDICTION:
This event was a new idea brought to the stage. I think this was different and an interacting thing to use while performing. When I heard it I thought it was cool and innovative. This may lead to other artists trying to incorporate this into their performance. My prediction is that Travis Scott may give a pathway to other artists to use mechanical parts (rides) in their videos and concerts.
