Antônia C. Physics HL Aspects of Physics Case Study: Amusement Parks On the 26th of February‚ 2011 our class went on a field trip in order to analyse the aspects of physics present in amusement parks. I chose two aspects based on my favourite rides: ‘Kaboom’ (which works based on free-fall) and the roller coaster. The Physics of Roller Coasters How does a Roller Coaster work? Roller coasters have no engines (although many still tend to think they do) and are thus not propelled around the

In Newtonian physics‚ free fall is any motion of a body where its weight is the only force acting upon it. In the context of general relativity‚ where gravitation is reduced to a space-time curvature‚ a body in free fall has no force acting on it and it moves along a geodesic. The present article only concerns itself with free fall in the Newtonian domain. An object in the technical sense of free fall may not necessarily be falling down in the usual sense of the term. An object moving upwards

The summer vacations immediately after Class X are a great opportunity for the students to race ahead of other students in the competitive world of IITJEE‚ where less than 2% students get selected every year for the prestigious institutes. Some students get governed completely by the emphasis laid by the teachers of the school in which they

don’t realize is that Football is almost entirely a game of physics‚ angles‚ and probability with only a bit of strength. The sport may seem to be about tackling people and about making those amazing one handed catches but if you understand a couple of topics like Newton’s laws of physics‚ angles‚ speed‚ and acceleration you could be just as good as Tom Brady‚

Investigatory Projects in Physics Repulsorlifts as a Method of Stable Magnetic Levitation | Repulsorlifts were used in the study to find out if they can be used to replace the wheels of a conventional car. It was hypothesized that it will be able to lift a car using magnetic repulsion forces. The different magnets were tested individually with the usual tests for magnetic strength‚ size‚ and temperature increase‚ which were done in the preliminary testing. The prototype road and car were then constructed

from an early age. I am always curious about how things work. Since taking AP Physics this year‚ I have been able to appreciate how math and science work together. I have taken other rigorous courses‚ but often it felt like learning math was isolated from other coursework. Math challenges me to problem solve and think at a higher level. I also love science‚ but until I took AP Physics my science classes were too easy. The labs in freshmen and sophomore science were enjoyable‚ but I never got a sense

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 is no onboard motor on roller coasters but they can still reach speeds that exceed the limits of a car on the parkway‚ while completing a curve‚ twist‚ rise‚ or plunge.
