Yay!
o.k. yesterday I went to Cedar Point, and I'm probably one of, if not the only person there who not only loves rollercoasters and the other rides, but I love the physics about them that make people scream. I know, it's weird that I think about these things everytime I go to Cedar Point.
Well, I think that the Raptor is like the fun physics king rollercoaster when it comes to coasters. I love that ride because it's a really good example that shows when objects move in circles of any size and at any speed, they create a new force that pushes outward, away from the center of rotation. It's fun and makes people scream because their bodies feel the centrifugal force when it makes a sharp turn. The Raptor kinda reminds me of what happens to an asteroid when it gets too close to Jupiter.
This is the best thread, ever.
