thrill all comes from the acceleration and the feeling of weightlessness that they produce. Roller coasters thrill people because of their ability to accelerate them downward one moment and upwards the next; leftwards one moment and rightwards the next. How does this thrill machine work? There are two ways that this question will be answered. First‚ through the basic principles and then through a more advanced explanation. Roller coaster rides involve a great deal of physics. The ride often begins with

Today’s roller coasters appear to be tons of tubular metal intertwined around itself‚ but regardless of how big‚ fast‚ or gravity defying they are‚ they all use the same natural force – gravity. The more twisting‚ turning‚ flipping‚ and the faster a roller coaster goes‚ the more the coaster depends on the law of physics‚ not mechanics‚ to keep it moving. There is no onboard motor on roller coasters but they can still reach speeds that exceed the limits of a car on the

You throw the ball. You catch the ball‚" said a well-respected baseball manager by the name of Casey Stengel. Mr. Stengel was a baseball man‚ not a mathematician nor a physicist. Physics and mathematics can be applied to the game of baseball on every pitch‚ and on every swing of the bat. To understand the physics of the game‚ it is first necessary to look at the center of the game‚ the ball. Section 1.09 of the Official Baseball Rules states that the ball must weigh between 5 ounces and 5 ¼

8th physics light reflection refraction eyes defect and dispersion The ray of light which falls on the mirror surface is called incident ray. The point at which the incident ray strikes the mirror is called the point of incidence. The ray of light which is sent back by the mirror is called the reflected ray. The ‘normal’ is a line drawn at right angles to the mirror surface at the point of incidence. The angle between incident ray and normal is called the angle of incidence. The angle between
