If you want to rent a cheap car, Lets face it we all don't have a lot of money to get the luxury sedans. So there's are places that rents cars called rent a wreck. For these cars you need a valid drivers license or military Id. These places don't really bother much with a background check. These Rent a Wrecks will even take a citation issued temporary license, but will not accept learners permits. They will not take foreign drivers permits. Also the debit or credit card must be by same person…

I think that speed is more important for making a roller coaster exiting. although acceleration is also important for that fast, scary feel in general speed is more important. First of all doing corkscrews or going upside down you need to be going fast so that it is safe. This works by using centrifugal force or inertia. If it is too slow you wouldn’t be able to do it of have to need very heavy buckling for safety and, that wouldn’t be fun. Also I think that the main thrill factor in a ride is…

My whole life, my father has been watching formula one racing during the season and then the Speed channel during the offseason. Of course, we only had one television with cable back in those treacherous days of the early-to-mid 2000s. Anyways, that’s what we did on the weekends while we were home. Don’t worry, we didn’t just watch TV all day, my dad involved me in his projects, my favorite was working on his 1969 Corvette. I also had to help with yard work and projects around the house which…

Propulsion is a force that pushes forward or drives and object forward. This concept can be seen in action with the use of a balloon powered car; this car demonstrates a type of propulsion system in which it produces thrust and potential energy and uses the kinetic energy that it will gain from the movement to push the car forward. The thrust is obtained from the balloon which applies Newton’s third of motion that states, “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Specifically,…

There are things being done to help educate and convince people to wear seat belts. A few states have laws on wearing a seat belt. It is not consistent though. 18 out of 50 states have it only as a secondary law. This means an officer cannot pull you over for not wearing a seat belt. Once you have been pulled over a different violation, you then can get a ticket not wearing a seat belt if you haven’t been able to sneak it on before the officer saw you weren’t wearing one. The consequences for…

Sometimes, terminology can confuse people, so let's clear up exactly what used car extended warranty actually is right form the get go. Obviously, a used car is one that has been owned by some one else before you purchased it. I quite often say to my wife when I see the latest model car being driven around town that I hope the owner looks after it because that could be our brand new second hand car in ten years time. Extended warranty simply means exactly what it sounds like - therefore, an…

Steam Engine To start with, the steam engine train can carry 7.5 ton. Some people thing the steam engine is light, but it weighs 400,000 pounds. But the steam engine has a long history! The steam engine impacts our everyday life, and makes society a better place. In my opinion the steam engine is better being it carries coal from point A to point B. All things considered, it was really a heat engine. It was also built in 1690 by Thomas Savery. It was meant to get water out of mines it was…

Forces are extremely important in a roller coaster, as they create the different sensations throughout the ride, and also help to hold you in your seat for safety. Forces on a roller coaster are measured in g's, which is how to measure gravity on the ride. The change of g's in different situations is what creates the different feelings and thrills you get on the coaster. When our marble is released at the top of the initial hill, energy is transferred from potential energy to kinetic energy.…

Americas Fastest car The shelby cobra was the fastest, most well known car of the1960s. This hot rod was able to reach 196 miles per hour and go 0 to 60 in 4.01 seconds. There were only about 3,000 shelby cobras made in the 1960s but many replicas have been made. An average original shelby cobra made in the 1960s would cost you about $100,000-$200,000. The shelby cobra was one of the most powerful cars in the 1960s with its v8 engine, well known body, and the fastest car of the 1960s reaching…
