    with G-forces and centripetal acceleration give the body certain sensations as the coaster moves up‚ down‚ and around the track. The forces experienced by the rider are constantly changing‚ leading to feelings of joy in some riders and nausea in others. The basic principles of roller coaster mechanics have been known since 1865‚[citation needed] and since then roller coasters have become a popular diversion. * | centripetal acceleration Centripetal acceleration is not a true force‚ but rather

    Introduction to the Language of Kinematics Describing Motion with Words Scalars and Vectors Distance and Displacement Speed Velocity Acceleration Kinematics is the science of describing the motion of objects using words‚ diagrams‚ numbers‚ graphs‚ and equations. The goal of any study of kinematics is to develop sophisticated models which serve in describing (and ultimately‚ explaining) the motion of real-world objects. Much of our lives are spent in motion‚ travelling

    class the other day. To set up the lab first‚ we measured the effect of the mass of the fan cart on the acceleration of the cart. The mass of the fan cart was the independent variable and acceleration was the dependent variable. We kept the speed of the cart on medium‚ and calculated the acceleration and motion. As a result‚ we had figured out that the bigger the mass the slower the acceleration‚ as we all should have known. To calculate this we used the second law of Newton (F=ma). For the first

    NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION Newton’s First Law of Motion An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. There are two parts to this statement - one that predicts the behavior of stationary objects and the other that predicts the behavior of moving objects. The two parts are summarized in the following diagram. The behavior of all objects can be described by saying that objects tend
