will loop the loop. The underlying principle of all roller coasters is the law of conservation of energy. When a roller coaster crests the first big hill‚gravity takes over. Potential energy is sometimes known as positional energy. As the roller coaster falls is has enough kinetic energy to make it through the remainder of the ride. Inertia keeps the object in motion. The other forces bring the roller coaster to a stop by friction. Since roll coasters don’t have motors they need to be pulled up by a

Roller Coasters: Adrenaline-fueled Architecture 600 years ago‚ roller coaster pioneers never would have imagined the advancements that have been made to create the roller coasters of today. The tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world is the Kingda Ka‚ a coaster in New Jersey that launches its passengers from zero to 128 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds (most sports cars take over four seconds to get to just 60 miles per hour). It then heaves its riders skyward at a 90-degree angle (straight

Last week‚ my group and I were constructing the roller coaster. I contributed by installing my funnel into the coaster. I did this by making adjusting the track so that it would lead the marble to the border of the tube. I did this because learned that when the marble spins around the edge of the tube‚ it increases the time which was what we wanted. After adjusting‚ I put supports on the funnel that would help the funnel maintain its shape to have the most maximum time possible. I also contributed

Roller coasters can be deadly. For example‚ a teenager was killed by a roller coaster while trying to get his hat back. It blew off in the middle of the ride and he went into the restricted area to retrieve it. He was then killed when the ride crashed into him. Because of this fact‚ I freaked out when I found out that I was going to Universal with my family a few years ago. I didn’t know this‚ but I was going to have an experience of a lifetime at Legoland. On the morning of my family’s trip to

As we went on the top thrill dragster because we have never been on the roller coaster and the line was really short. We were talking on the way to cedar point if we were going to ride the top thrill dragster. “If the line is shorter than last year we will try to get on the top thrill dragster”‚ said my aunt Mel. “okay but if we

Physics behind roller coasters Energy can be converted from one from to another. When the car is still‚ the energy which is acting on it is GPE (gravitational potential energy). The car starts to accelerate towards the peak. The energy is converted from GPE to Kinetic energy. The car is at the peak. The energy transfers from Kinetic energy to GPE. The car starts to go down. The energy transfers again from GPE to Kinetic energy. There is no kinetic energy when the car is still at the bottom‚ as

but I was still so scared. If you haven’t found out the thing I am talking about‚ the thing I am stressing about is a rollercoaster. But not just any rollercoaster‚ a seven-looping‚ twisting turning roller coaster. It is called Bizarro. I had been on just about all the other roller coasters at the park‚ but not bizarro! It scared me too much! I was at the park with my two friends‚ Shayne and Kyleigh. “Come on guys‚ it really isn’t that scary!” Shayne called out. “Easy

The streets were empty‚ surrounded by silence. Darkness was my only companion‚ apart from my dad. I was looking ahead towards the long road in front of me. And a sudden surge of emotions ran throughout my body. I was excited‚ yet I felt unsure. I felt unprepared. But‚ nevertheless‚ I wanted to get it over with. After a long debate with my dad‚ he finally agreed to let me drive to Ateneo but with the condition that we had to leave the house at five in the morning. I did not think he would have

rollercoaster I had ever seen. Some of it was even out of the park! When went to ride it there was a long line but the wait was quick because there were three coasters running on the same track so boarding was quick. I was excited when I first go on it and couldn’t wait to go. The hill on the coaster was extremely tall. You could see the whole park! The coaster was fast and long with several quick turns‚ small hills‚ and even a tunnel. When it was over I wanted to ride it again but we went to ride the other
