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

gently pulled me forward. I didn’t want to. It was an enormous metal trap that was sure to send me to my doom. In my four year old eyes‚ roller coasters were the fuel of my nightmares. I wasn’t afraid of clowns with pasty makeup and cold‚ dead eyes‚ no. I wasn’t afraid of monsters with razor sharp teeth and claws like a lion. No‚ me‚ I was afraid of roller coasters. The rolling cart with only a bar to hold me in was terrifying. What if-- what if I slipped out? What if I hit my head on an overhead track

We went to cedar point over the summer. 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 don’t get to ride it this year i want to next year”‚ I said loudly. “Like I said corbin if the line is short we will”‚ my aunt Mel

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

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

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

insatiable craving for knowledge. While there‚ I never missed the opportunity to seize my two favorite VHS tapes whenever available: Popular Mechanics for Kids: Rip Roaring Roller Coasters and NOVA: Roller Coaster!. These videos nourished me with both the charm of creation and the justification behind how to assemble and operate roller coasters. Evidently‚ I admired the concept of humans possessing the ability to develop a scaled-down railroad that can successfully endure hairpin turns‚ stomach-dropping slopes

remember seeing on television and wanting to ride it really badly. It just looked so amazing and since I love rollercoasters and love riding rollercoasters‚ I knew it was something I had to do. I had ridden lots of rollercoasters before this one such as the Intimidator 305 and the Top Thrill Dragster‚ which I had enjoyed riding very much‚ and I figured that the Fury would be just as good. So I asked my parents of we could go to the Carrowinds to ride the Fury. They said yes and we went with my aunt
