Title: ROLLER COASTER Objectives: 1) To design and to build a functional roller coaster for a marble. 2) To investigate the conservation of energy of the marble and the centripetal force on the roller coaster at various locations. Introduction: A roller coaster is a complex machine that is a work of art as much as it is a physical structure. Physical principles are applied during the design and construction of roller coasters. Conservation of energy The principle of

friends asked me to ride a roller coaster with them and I did not because of fear. I know fear held me back at that time‚ since I did not enjoy spending time with my friends‚ I had to be the one holding everyone’s bag‚ as well as wasting my money on a place that had nothing else to offer but roller coasters. Sometimes as a child‚ people can have sad or frightful experiences riding roller coasters‚ or being at an amusement park‚ which may develop a phobia of roller coasters later on in their life.

favourite rides: ‘Kaboom’ (which works based on free-fall) and the roller coaster. The Physics of Roller Coasters How does a Roller Coaster work? Roller coasters have no engines (although many still tend to think they do) and are thus not propelled around the track by a motor. The transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy is what steers the roller coaster‚ and all of the kinetic energy required for the ride is present once the coaster goes down the first ‘hill’. Laws of Gravitation Gravitational

Physics in Roller Coasters There is a lot of Physics in a roller coaster. It contains a lot of potential and kinetic energy‚ and also centripetal force. All of these factors will define how the roller coaster really works. As we all know‚ or some of us know‚ roller coasters doesn’t use engine to operate the ride. It depends on converting potential energy into kinetic energy. Cars will need a certain amount of pull or push to reach a certain peek of the track. Upon reaching the peak‚ the energy

There are many functions of roller coasters such as the chain lift‚ catapult-launch lift etc. The first component is the chain lift the chain lift is a series of connected carts that move on tracks. The train has no engine nor power source the power is gravity and momentum. To build up this momentum(potential energy) the train needs to get to the top of the hill. The lifting mechanism is a long length of chain that runs up the hill under the track. The chain is a fasten loop and the chain on the

Designing my roller coaster was pretty interesting. My roller coaster ended up being called the bombora extrandgana. My roller coaster has two crazy big loops and and 100 foot drop and some seat throwing turns. Let me tell you about my roller coaster. My roller coaster is a minute and a half for the average speed. Well getting into detail on the ride has some very descriptive vocabulary words. The feeling when you you first go onto the ride and you’re super scared but that’s not all. The scientific

When I was younger‚ I used to love going to amusement parks because roller coasters fascinated me. These beastly machines are usually made of steel or wood‚ can go as fast as 120 miles per hour‚ and reach the height of 420 feet. It amazes me why average people like me would trade the tranquility of the ground to be high up in the air‚ being tossed around with such brutality and roughness‚ like vegetables in a food processor. Even still I enjoyed riding these fast amazing machines‚ sometimes so fast

Stuck!!! Have you ever been stuck on a roller coaster? The fact that my brother was screaming “We’re all gonna die!” wasn’t helping with the younger kids on the ride. Here’s my story. We were stuck at the top of the roller coaster with a couple of carts going over the edge‚ terrifying. Plus‚ the 0 miles per hour to the what felt like 2‚000 mile per hour takeoff with no warning almost made me wet myself! As‚ we were going around the first turn my ribs were rattling like drums. My heart was

The poem describes life like a rollercoaster. Life is full of ups and downs‚ an emotional roller coaster ride that you can’t quite imagine. The image that came up in my mind as i was reading the poem are two rollercoasters. One has ups‚ downs and loops‚ but the other is leveled and stable. The loops‚ ups and downs add thrill and color to the ride. It may be breath-taking but riders were obviously satisfied and happy overcoming and experiencing such ride. On the other hand‚ the other which was leveled

that realm of childhood excitement and fun. 1. You enter the park gate‚ the roller coaster looms before you with a line of people waiting their turn. How long do you have to wait in line before getting to ride? 2. Your turn finally comes and now you’re racing and plunging around the course. What kinds of feelings does the speed bring out in you? 3. At the most exciting point in the course‚ the roller coaster dives into a pool of water and you’re drenched by the spray. What do you shout
