physics offers us? The answer is no. Roller coasters are driven by physics; it mobilizes and gives its riders amusement through forces such as inertia‚ gravitation‚ and centripetal forces and utilizes different types of energies such as potential and kinetic energy. Physics is what makes roller coasters safe and effective. It is not only the high speed of the trains of a roller coaster that makes the ride so thrilling but the acceleration of the train and the occasional feeling of weightlessness. At

Have you ever ridden on a rollercoaster and felt your heart drop as you were going downhill? Have you asked yourself how getting these feelings were possible? The answer is math. You may ask what math has to do with rollercoasters. Math is the reason for everything and anything that has to do with rollercoasters. Without math‚ it would be impossible to even be able to create one. To build a rollercoaster you need to be able to use numbers when talking about the costs‚ taking measurements‚ calculating

AP Physics Laboratory Coefficients of Friction Discussion: Friction is the force that resists motion and can be determined in either static situations or kinetic situations using the following equation: [pic] Static friction is the amount of friction that resists the start of motion and kinetic friction resists an object’s continued motion. The coefficient of friction depends on a number of factors including surface area and the types of surfaces in contact. The only way to determine

free choice feeding‚ excessive mineral intake at a young age‚ excessive calcium intake and an imbalance of vitamin D metabolites. Calcium and Phosphorus levels are a key component in avoiding D.O.D. If your puppy consumes excess amounts of phosphorus or calcium or if your dog is deficient that can also be a problem. Large breed puppies Calcium and Phosphorus ratios need to be on the lower end of the normal ratio for puppies‚ which is 1:1 to 2:1. Many pet owners do not realize the importance of feeding

Energy Lab On November 13th‚ we did a lab to learn about energy. The definition of Kinetic Energy is energy of movement. The definition of Gravitational Potential Energy is energy in an object due to its positioning. The question that we had to answer was whether of not we could calculate the Gravitational Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy of various objects in different locations. To do this lab we had to first weigh the given objects. For this time‚ we weighed : a marble‚ a bouncy ball‚

matter‚ including the fourth and fifth states: plasma and the Bose-Einstein Condensate‚ or BEC. The plasma and Bose-Einstein Condensate states of matter‚ while having some similarities‚ are two completely different forms of matter and connect with the Kinetic Molecular Theory in differing ways. Plasma is the fourth state of matter. It’s a fluid‚ gas-like substance that consists of a mixture of free electrons‚ neutral atoms‚ and charged ions. It is made up of both positively and negatively charged particles

Rides and rollercoasters Many theme park rides use the transfer of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy and kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy. A rollercoaster A rollercoaster car converts GPE to KE when it rolls down the track As the pirate ship falls‚ GPE is transferred into KE. At the bottom of the swing it’s travelling at its highest speed. As it swings back up the other side it slows down as its KE is transferred back into GPE. Rollercoasters use these energy

What will happen if you eat Pistachios every day? They seem exotic and delicious‚ and can be found in almost every store. Pistachios are the healthiest snack food that speed up your metabolism‚ lower the cholesterol and slow down aging. Pistachios deserve a special place in our daily diet because of the benefits that they have if consumed every day. Consuming pistachios for only a few days can lower the cholesterol up to 20%‚ due to the great amount of antioxidants they contain. Antioxidants prevent
