“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

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

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.

Stuck!!! Have you ever been stuck on a roller coaster? The fact that my brother was screaming “We’re all gonna die!” wasn’t helping with the younger kids on the ride. Here’s my story. We were stuck at the top of the roller coaster with a couple of carts going over the edge‚ terrifying. Plus‚ the 0 miles per hour to the what felt like 2‚000 mile per hour takeoff with no warning almost made me wet myself! As‚ we were going around the first turn my ribs were rattling like drums. My heart was

The poem describes life like a rollercoaster. Life is full of ups and downs‚ an emotional roller coaster ride that you can’t quite imagine. The image that came up in my mind as i was reading the poem are two rollercoasters. One has ups‚ downs and loops‚ but the other is leveled and stable. The loops‚ ups and downs add thrill and color to the ride. It may be breath-taking but riders were obviously satisfied and happy overcoming and experiencing such ride. On the other hand‚ the other which was leveled

I love roller coasters‚ that is fact. But I have not always been this way‚ but this story changed my opinion‚ and also taught me a great lesson. Me and my friends were about to ride the tallest coaster in the world‚ but it didn’t seem so scary after I rode it. The massive hunk of steel looked at us right in the eye‚ I remember sweat trickling down my face on that 95 degree summer day‚ at Six Flags Great Adventure. My friends and I had gone on a few rides already‚ such as Batman‚ Nitro‚ and the

up amusement parks on a daily basis how safe are you on the towering roller coasters? Am I the only one who wonders what if something happens? What if something goes wrong will I have enough time to react? With the recent death at Six Flags over Texas‚ these things cross my mind. Who checks these roller coasters for safety and how often are they checked? Though it seems like there are very few fatalities on rollers coasters it seems to me one is one to many. These questions always enter my mind
