Out and Back roller coaster

The instability of the roller coaster creates a spring constant. This means that as the car travels through the roller coaster, it loses energy because the track shakes and moves. For example, when viewing the videos it became apparent that when the car entered the loop, the track shook violently making it difficult to determine when the car reached each location. As the car went through the track, going up into the loops it grew in height, decreasing in kinetic energy while increasing in…

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.…

1. Have you provided a critical evaluation of how this model may/may not correspond in the real world? In my opinion, I know our roller coaster could work in the real world and would be so much fun, but the ending of the roller coaster may be difficult. It would be difficult because we had a hard time figuring out how to slow it down at the end of the track. But it does come to how the friction from the actual cart and the track would work because in reality you could add brakes and other things…

arrived a bit later than usual because of our indecisiveness, so we spent the day in the water park. Towards late afternoon, the heat became less oppressive as clouds enveloped the sun. My younger sister Katy and I decided to dry our hair out by riding a roller coaster. Afterwards, our parents decided to treat us to Udderly Blue ice-cream before leaving the park. As we leisurely strolled to the car, I felt a couple raindrops on my arms, and by the time we arrived at the car, the rain was…

hated roller coasters. They always terrified me. It makes me sick to my stomach thinking about the loops, twists and drops. One day my friend invited me to go to a Six Flags theme park. This particular friend loves roller coasters. I didn’t know why, but he could ride any roller coaster without a care in the world. As he grabbed my arm pulling me to the next ride I could feel my heartbeat increasing. My palms started getting sweating as my hands trembled. Then I saw it, the roller coaster that…

When I saw the roller coaster I new I wanted to go on it. The one thing was I didn’t feel like going on it alone. So I begged my sister to go on it with me, but of course she said no. I knew that she would not go on it with me. Not a surprise, she never want’s to go on roller coasters with me, she’s to much of a wimp. I kept begging her her. I felt like a puppy dog begging,Please please Bryce can you please go on it with me.But of course she said no.I kept asking her.I was mumbling and telling…

creating the perfect environment to have the maximum amount of fun. The sun is beaming down on you while the slightest breeze swings by to cool you down. In your ears all you can hear is the excitement of little children running into the never ending roller coaster lines.The elation is everywhere in the air almost as if it were a contagious cold. I stand in line with other children, waiting to feel the thrill of being over two hundred feet in the sky. As my turn approaches to board, the knot…

I remember when I was five it was my birthday, I was opening presents, when I opened one from my mom and inside was a picture of a turtle, I knew that it meant that I was getting a turtle! I only had my turtle for about four months before it died. Then I remember I was seven I went to disneyland with my mom and dad, I went on a scary ride called the tower of terror. I loved it so much! I have loved scary rides ever since the trip but when we went to mexico we did ziplines across the water, I…

The roller coaster traces its origins to Russia, where wood-framed ice slides sent sledders down 70-foot high slopes as early as the 16th century. These Russian Mountains also became popular summertime attractions when wheeled carts rolled riders down large, undulating wooden ramps. What is considered the first successful commercial roller coaster made its debut in 1884 at New York's famous Coney Island. LaMarcus A. Thompson constructed the first roller coaster, the primitive Gravity Switchback…
