Above your head, the bucket and water are moving forward, and they’d like to keep going that way, but the string you are using to swing the bucket yanks the water and bucket back into the circular path, exerting what we call a centripetal force. In our case, gravity is still pulling the water towards the earth, but it is also pulling the bucket towards the earth, so they’re moving together. When you simply turn a bucket upside-down, we know that the water falls out of the bucket because gravity is pulling it towards the earth, but the bucket doesn't fall because you are holding it above the earth - exerting a force opposite to gravity.
#PLANET COASTER ROTATE FULL#
Instead, the water should remain in the bucket, just like the roller coaster passengers remain in their seats when they loop upside-down on the rides! What's Going On?Įven though the water is - for an instant - right over your head, it doesn’t fall down on you the same way it would if you just turned a bucket full of water upside-down.
#PLANET COASTER ROTATE UPDATE#
There are a lot of fixes included in this update from performance improvements, stability, and crash fixes, to changes to the user interface, and more.
#PLANET COASTER ROTATE PATCH#
The patch notes for this update are available to view from here. As the bucket passes over your head, it should be facing down, but if you’re going fast enough, you should be able to avoid getting a shower. Planet Coaster was updated to version 1.11 today for consoles. Hold the rope in your hand (so that the bucket is around the same level as your knees when you hold it by your side) and spin it around in a vertical circle, passing over your head at a swift speed. Make sure you’re outside or in a space where it’s okay to get wet - just in case you lose some water along the way.

Fill the bucket about half-way full with water (but not too much - you don’t want the bucket to be too heavy for you to lift!). Tightly tie the rope around the handle of the bucket - knot it well so that it won’t come undone. See how you can recreate this motion with water as your passenger! What You Need It has the longest rotation time frame (243 days) of any planet in the Solar System and turns the other way to most other planets (which means the Sun ascends in the west and sets in the east). Have you ever seen a roller coaster loop its passengers all the way around in a circle? Why don’t the people fall out of the roller coaster? It’s not just the safety straps keeping them in their seats there’s a force locking them in. Venus is the second planet from the Sun, circling it each 224.7 Earth days.
