The Ferris wheel implemented two significant fundamentals of physics which are centripetal acceleration and conservation of energy. The centripetal acceleration aspect governs the motion of the Ferris wheel, ensuring smoothness for passengers as they experience varying gravitational forces throughout their journey. Meanwhile, the conservation of energy principle is ingeniously applied by integrating solar panels into the design. By harnessing solar energy during the day, your Ferris wheel stores this renewable energy for later use, particularly during the night.

Objectives of this project are to implement a solar-powered Ferris wheel to reduce carbon emissions, promote renewable energy, and apply centripetal acceleration for stability wheel motions.

In conclusion, this solar-powered Ferris wheel reduces carbon emissions, promotes renewable energy, and applies centripetal acceleration for stable wheel motions. For sustainability, solar panels turn sunlight into electricity, so the Ferris wheel can run without fuel, reducing the environmental impacts.

For environmental impact, a solar-powered wheel cuts greenhouse gas emissions much more than traditional ones fueled by coal or natural gas. Finally for energy efficiency, solar stores excess energy during the day and uses it during periods of low sunlight or at night and cost savings can be substantial.
