On February 10th in 3rd period Honors Physics, we watched a movie on roller coasters. The movie was called "Extreme Machines." We had to complete the before and after questions from page 129 in our lab manual. It took a few minutes to get the movie started, but the teachers figured it out. Lakota technology, right? Anyway, the video was pretty funny. We didn't end up finishing it so we're going to finish it on Monday and turn in the worksheet. We did not have any homework due today because of the Energy Test we had on Thursday. We also do not have any homework due on Monday, but our windmills are still due on 3/9.
QOD: The g-forces on a rollercoaster are the forces that make you feel heavier or lighter than you actually are. Positive g-forces are experienced at the bottom of a hill of a rollercoaster and put much stress and strain on your body. Negative g-forces are experience at the top of hills and make you fell weightless. G-forces on a theme park ride usually vary between + 4 and - 1/2 g's.
