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

Then comes the invention of the roller coaster. Roller coasters are always exciting. Airtime is a fantastic element on a roller coaster. The Blue Streak at Cedar Point is a great airtime legend. The air time is so powerful that my butt slams against the seat when the airtime ends. It is my 18th favorite coaster that I have

Roller coasters‚ one of the best amusement rides that ever existed. This amazing ride traces its origins back to Russia where it all began (Source E). Russia is where wood-framed ice slides sent sledders down 70- foot high slopes in the 16th century‚ in St.Petersburg‚ Russia (Source E). Since‚ Russia was a snowy place‚ the sleds were a perfect pastime. The roller coaster was built out of lumber with a sheet of ice several inches thick covering the surface to make sure it was as safe and sturdy as

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.

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

The first type of roller coaster is the wooden roller coaster. The wooden roller coaster braced by wooden cross ties and diagonal support beams. The entire track rest on wooden or steel beams. Some wooden roller coasters can even go upside down but not a lot of modern roller coasters do this anymore. They don’t do this any more because the wooden track is inflexible. This is also why wooden roller coasters don’t have complex twist or turns. The main motion of a wooden roller coaster is from going up

“A roller coaster is considered any elevated track with curves and rises‚ carrying passengers in open‚ rolling cars for entertainment” (5). 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
