Roller Coaster For many people‚ there is only one reason to go to an amusement park: the roller coaster. Some people call it the "scream machine‚" with good reason. The history of this ride reflects a constant search for greater and more death-defying thrills. How does a roller coaster work? What you may not realize as you’re cruising down the track at 60 miles an hour is that the coaster has no engine. The car is pulled to the top of the first hill at the beginning of the ride‚ but after

Roller Coaster We were finally arriving at michigan’s adventure and my brother somehow convinced my whole family to go on a roller coaster‚ and I HATE roller coasters. We finally waltzed into michigan’s adventure. We walked around for a while‚ when finally we found the roller coaster. “Do I have to go on.” I whined. “No.” My dad said. “Yes he does we are going on this as a family‚ but this will be the only one you have to go on.” my mom said. We waited in line for a little while. Suddenly we

When I was younger‚ I used to love going to amusement parks because roller coasters fascinated me. These beastly machines are usually made of steel or wood‚ can go as fast as 120 miles per hour‚ and reach the height of 420 feet. It amazes me why average people like me would trade the tranquility of the ground to be high up in the air‚ being tossed around with such brutality and roughness‚ like vegetables in a food processor. Even still I enjoyed riding these fast amazing machines‚ sometimes so fast

Physics of roller coasters | | Simply speaking‚ a roller coaster is a machine that uses gravity and inertia to send a train of cars along a winding track.[1] This combination of gravity and inertia‚ along with G-forces and centripetal acceleration give the body certain sensations as the coaster moves up‚ down‚ and around the track. The forces experienced by the rider are constantly changing‚ leading to feelings of joy in some riders and nausea in others. The basic principles of roller coaster mechanics

Roller Coaster Ride A roller coaster ride contains many loops and twists one after another. At first glance‚ the ride looks terrifying. I never thought I would see myself ride one until one day my niece forced me to get on one. She was only 13 years old at that time‚ and I was 20 years old. Being younger than me‚ I did not want to show her how scared I was‚ so I dropped my pride and rode it. After discovering the excitement of riding the roller coaster‚ I became addicted to it and kept riding it

Find and explain one example each of both verbal and situational irony: follow the four-step quotation-using method exactly for each‚ using one quotation for each of these two kinds of irony. Your “step four: explain further” step for each will explain what each example of irony does for the story (what response is seen in the average reader.) 2. What is the plot twist at the end?

beauty of moving on ice. With a bone strapped onto the bottom of shoes‚ people started skating on ice. Through the years‚ the bone has turned into a sharp blade attached to a boot. Not only has the skate changed‚ but also the sport has transformed into couple skating and team games. Although figure skating and hockey are both practiced on the same type of rink‚ they are very different sports. Figure skating is a very graceful sport that requires lightweight clothes‚ like jackets and dresses‚ to

almost all roller coasters only rely on Earth’s gravity to get the cars down the track? Roller coasters are centered all on physics and I will hopefully teach you some things‚ big or small about them today. In this essay we will be exploring the world of roller coasters. Some of the topics we will cover will range from the history‚ to the principles that allow the cars to continue throughout the length of the track‚ and the general physics surrounding roller coasters. The history of roller coasters

As the height of the roller coaster increases‚ the speed of the marble decreases; and vice versa. When the height of the roller coaster is at it’s peak‚ the highest point‚ and the motion of the marble is going uphill; the speed has less kinetic energy than it has potential. The potential energy is being stored up‚ as the marble’s velocity is at an upward motion. Once the ball reaches the highest point and starts moving in a downwards motion‚ it releases the stored energy and gains kinetic energy
