When the ride is at its lowest height and greatest velocity the ride has the most kinetic energy.]]> 2017-05-18 14:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172593852 kv130934 https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594291 When the rides starts swinging and reaches the highest height, the ride has the most potential energy. That is also when velocity is the least; at zero (no kinetic energy)]]> 2017-05-18 14:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594291 kv130934 https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594360 The Sky Screamer has Centripetal Acceleration because the tension force acting on the seats pull you in and make you revolve around the ride. The centripetal acceleration is toward the inside of the circle]]> 2017-05-18 14:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594360 kv130934 https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594452 This is an example of simple harmonic motion because it is like a pendulum. As the ride swings back and forth it has periodic motion; its motion graph would make a sinusoidal graph.]]> 2017-05-18 14:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594452 kv130934 https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594508 When you're on the Riddler and you reach a great height you can feel yourself falling out of your seat and are in free fall for a short period of time.]]> 2017-05-18 14:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594508 kv130934 https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594552 Obeying Newton's 1st Law, the car stays in motion, constant velocity, because there isn't a force causing acceleration. If there was a force, like the brakes, applied there would acceleration toward the opposite direction of velocity so the car would slow down. ]]> 2017-05-18 14:27:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594552 kv130934 https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594634 On the New Texas Giant we experience positive acceleration  during the steep drop because the cart speeds up in the same direction of its velocity. If positive direction is downward the rides acceleration is positive too]]> 2017-05-18 14:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594634 kv130934 https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594728 The Mr.Freeze ride starts off by accelerating you in the negative direction then changes to positive.]]> 2017-05-18 14:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594728 kv130934 https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594778 When the Air Hockey mallets collide with the Air Hockey puck there is impulse because it changes its momentum. Both objects start off with velocity in the opposite direction (toward each other) and a different unknown mass. As they collide friction occurs between the two objects which mean there was work (change in kinetic energy). Since there was a change in kinetic energy, the velocities of the objects change (because their masses don't change). Momentum isn't conserved because their initial and final momentum isn't the same. Impulse = change in momentum]]> 2017-05-18 14:28:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594778 kv130934 https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594806 As the Superman comes down from a great height at constant velocity, it is losing gravitational potential energy because its height is decreasing. As the velocity stays the same kinetic energy is constant and potential energy isn't. Energy isn't conserved because the initial energy and final energy isn't the same because as gravitational potential energy decreases, kinetic energy doesn't increase. Work = change in energy]]> 2017-05-18 14:28:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172594806 kv130934 https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172719661 2017-05-19 03:00:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kv130934/d46mwdmmo3ez/wish/172719661
