    Letter of Recommendation—Roller Coaster Roller Coaster was my biggest nightmare when I was young. Unlike other kids, I begged for not going to those amusement parks and my parents were surprised.

    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.…

    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…
