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

When I was ten years old‚ I went to the Valley Fair‚ that’s also when I went on my first roller coaster. As my family and I pulled into the colossal amusement park‚ I could see it‚ the largest roller coaster I’ve seen in my life.

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.

On the morning of my family’s trip to

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
