At the bottom of the lifting hill, the train’s kinetic energy is at the highest point and it’ll be on the track, enough to push it through the succession of smaller hills and turns.]]> 2018-11-09 21:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/409129/b6b9o5wfwvzj/wish/302774132 462484 https://padlet.com/409129/b6b9o5wfwvzj/wish/302774600 2018-11-09 21:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/409129/b6b9o5wfwvzj/wish/302774600 462484 https://padlet.com/409129/b6b9o5wfwvzj/wish/302775210 On Earth, your environment is 1-G. If you move/ accelerate. One example of this being used on our roller coaster is......]]> 2018-11-09 21:06:40 UTC https://padlet.com/409129/b6b9o5wfwvzj/wish/302775210 409129 https://padlet.com/409129/b6b9o5wfwvzj/wish/304027525 If the engineers don't know how a roller coaster works,then the roller coaster would most likely not be safe to ride. The frame could be wobbly, the amount of kinetic and potential energy could be off and people would get stuck on a hill, or the physics of a loop could be wrong on the roller coaster and it could hurt people. So basically, engineers not knowing how roller coasters work will most likely end up in people getting hurt ]]> 2018-11-13 20:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/409129/b6b9o5wfwvzj/wish/304027525 409129 https://padlet.com/409129/b6b9o5wfwvzj/wish/304032900 Most roller coasters are powered with gravity. When potential energy is switched to kinetic, gravity takes place speeding the cars along the track. ]]> 2018-11-13 20:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/409129/b6b9o5wfwvzj/wish/304032900 https://padlet.com/409129/b6b9o5wfwvzj/wish/304521527 First, learn that all true roller coasters are completely driven by the force of gravity and that the conversion between potential and kinetic energy is essential to all roller coasters. Second, they consider the role of friction in slowing down cars in roller coasters. Finally, examine the acceleration of roller coaster cars as they travel around the track. During the associated activity, students design, build and analyze model roller coasters they make using foam tubing and marbles (as the cars).]]> 2018-11-14 19:55:04 UTC https://padlet.com/409129/b6b9o5wfwvzj/wish/304521527 https://padlet.com/409129/b6b9o5wfwvzj/wish/310025981 Our working space coaster in SLOWMO!!!]]> 2018-12-01 03:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/409129/b6b9o5wfwvzj/wish/310025981
