The conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy is what drives the roller coaster‚ and all of the kinetic energy you need for the ride is there once the coaster goes down the very first hill. Once the coaster gets going‚ there are different types of wheels that help keep the ride smooth. Roller coasters don’t have engines. But they do have energy. Once all passengers are in the coaster‚ the carts get released and begin to roll down the first hill. The force of gravity makes them accelerate downwards

Samantha Robinson Math105 Math and Roller Coasters It’s not something that most people think about when they’re standing in line for an hour waiting for two minutes of thrill‚ but math has a lot to do with building a roller coaster.

The Ride of My Life I’ve always loved roller coasters. Or‚ at least I thought I did. The feeling of soaring through the air‚ warm wind blasting on your face and blowing through your hair‚ that "oh crap" moment that your body gets when you’re plummeting downwards‚ and the adrenaline that surges through your body while you’re watching the world flip and twist before your eyes in mind boggling ways are all insane. My legs were aching from standing upright for such a prolonged period of time. I was

My first ride on a roller coaster was a scary experience! I never had a thought of wanting to ride a roller coaster for different reasons. The reasons for that fear was the fear of heights and the thought of me falling off the ride or some type of malfunction causing the roller coaster to collapse. I would just watch other people get on the rides and listen to them scream their hearts out. One summer night‚ my friend called me and told me that the fair was in town for the weekend. She thought it

Roller Coaster Rush I walked out of the car. “Have fun!” my parents shouted. “Okay!” I replied. I walked across the street to the bleak concrete sidewalk to the entrance Great America. My friends and I had spent a week planning this meetup for the day. As I walked towards the entrance I saw my old friends Theodore and Oliva. Theodore was a normal sized boy and had short‚ black hair and dark brown eyes. He was wearing khaki shorts and an orange t-shirt. Wow‚ I forgot how long Olivia’s hair was

The Roller coaster Ride Roller coaster rides are extremely petrifying‚ obscuring‚ and agitating. I remembered getting into my seat and strapped in. I can hear the buzzing of excitement from other fellow passengers‚ while I was terrified to expect the unexpected. I heard them talking about previous times and how thrilling their past experiences were riding roller coasters. While my stomach was twisting and turning from the nervousness. I can literally feel all the animosity as my neck hair peaks

I sped along on my route to the coaster that stood taller than any of the others. I kenned it‚ then facilely with my own ocular perception; no binoculars or map needed. I fought my way through the astronomically immense crowds that wandered in the other way. A parade of colors flew past me. They casually strolled along‚ enjoying the warm‚ sunny day. My pace was brisk as I sped onward‚ endeavoring to beat the few following me to the job. The saccharine smell of ice cream and donuts wafted toward me
