         <description><![CDATA[<p>Definitions</p><p>Acceleration= increase in the rate or speed of something </p><p>Centripetal=  moving or tending to move toward the center</p><p>Centrifugal force= an apperant force that acts outward on a body moving</p><p>Around a center arising  from the body's inertia</p><p>G=A g is a unit of acceleration equal to the acceleration caused by gravity.</p><p>Momentum=Momentum pertains to the quantity of motion that an object possesses.</p><p>Weightlessness= being without apparent weight as a freely falling body</p><p>These all apply to roller coasters because as you ride the roller coaster you experience</p><p>Each of these properties</p><p>Friction is a force that resists the motion of an object this&nbsp;applies to roller coasters</p><p>&nbsp;because&nbsp;when&nbsp;you ride a roller coaster u try to resist some of the motions</p><p>Potential energy is when a object has the to move by itself</p><p>kinetic energy is an energy an object has when its moving</p><p>potential energy= mass x g x height</p><p>PE= m h x (9.8 m/s/s)</p><p>kinetic energy= 1/2 x mass x velocity2</p><p>KE=1/2mv2</p><p>Energy is measured in joules</p><p>When the roller coaster goes up it uses more potential energy</p><p>&nbsp;but when it goes down it use Kinect energy</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Roller coasters began in Russia when people&nbsp;would shape ice&nbsp;into hills and ride sleds on them.</p><p>&nbsp;The French then took this idea and made it better, using waxed slides and adding</p><p>&nbsp;wheels to the sleds, creating a coaster  a roller dose all of these turn because it is&nbsp;</p><p>mounted on the track an there is a force being applied on the coaster</p>]]></description>
