ROLLER COASTERS

ACCELERATION

• A change in velocity
• It connects because when you accelerate on a coaster it makes it more thrilling

CENTRIPETAL FORCE

• The force a body feels while turning
• This connects because when you go on a turn it feels like you may fall off.

ENERGY CONVERSION

• The prosses of energy changing forms
• This connects because when you go farther energy changes to friction

FORCE

• A lift push or pull
• This connects when you get pushed of at the begining og the ride

FREE FALL

• When the only forge acting on you is gravity
• This connects because when you go down the first hill you are in a free fall

FRICTION

• Surface resistance to relative motion
• This connects because when you go the kinetic energy turns to friction

GRAVITY

• The force that pulls objects to the earth
• This connects because you stay on then you accelerate

KINETIC ENERGY

• When a body or a system with respect to motion
• This connects because when you are moving you have KE

POTENTIAL ENERGY

• Stored energy
• This connects because when you are at the top of the lift hill you have 100% PE

MOMENTUM

• Impelling force or strength
• This connects because after the first hill momentum is how you keep going

NEWTON'S FIRST LAW

• Before something moves it doesnt want to but after its starts moving its hard to stop
• This connects because its hard to get the roller coaster to start moving but after it starts it hard to stop it

NEWTONS SECOND LAW

• The greater the force the greater the acceleration the more mass the smaller acceleration
• This connects because when there is more people then the coaster will not go as fast

NEWTONS THIRD LAW

• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
• This connects because when you go on the loop you push on the seat and it seat pushes on you so you stay on

VELOCITY

• Speed with direction
• This connects when you go down a hill really fast then turn
