    consist of turns, loops, and going fast. All roller coasters are active by the means of gravity, potential energy, kinetic energy, friction, and speed. To our surprise, roller coasters do not typically use engines. If they do, the motor is only used going up the hill and the rest of the ride is motor less. The roller coaster gets energy while it is going up the hills. The roller coaster has the most potential energy when it is located at the first peak which is the highest peak. The fundamental…

    Breaks are not something people take the time to think about. Even if they are fundamental to the vehicles many people use every day. The functionality of breaks is contributed to physics and engineers ability to understand that physics. There is a lot going on when people press on the brake pedal in their car. The most basic principle of brake pads is in fact friction. This friction is the thing that transfers the energy of the car moving forward to heat energy. Brakes also use pressure as a…

    The nervous system is composed of two main parts which are the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system includes the brain and nerve cords like the spinal cord while the peripheral nervous system includes the motor nerves and sensory nerves. There are two main types of support cells in the nervous system which are glial cells and neurons. The neurons' function in the system is to receive and send electrical signals. The glial cells provide insulation…

    Once this is done, the counterweight (i.e. potential energy) is increased by weight (in this experiment those take the form of ~0.5 kg weights) being added. The sling and projectile are put into position below the hinge under the beam, and upon triggering the projectile is accelerated as the gravitational potential energy of the counterweight begins to turn into kinetic energy (energy of movement). The sling portion of the trebuchet…
