Question

PLEASE HELP QUESTION BELOW /:

Answer 1

Amusement parks are a great place to see Newton's laws of motion in action. Choose your favorite ride and describe the parts of the ride that illustrate each of Newton's laws of motion.

Answer 2

I chose The Sheikra at Busch Gardens.

Look at this video and imagine being in it. Every time you expect to feel a push there is a force acting, which is newton's 2nd law. But everytime you feel a push the chair or whatever it is also gets a push from you, this is the third law, action-reaction. The first law just says that objects moving with a certain speed wants to keep moving with that speed.

Answer 4

So for instance, when going up on a roller coaster, that would be the 2nd law of motion? @dape

Answer 5

Yes, in the beginning of the video you can see the 2nd law, there is a force acting that starts moving the cart up the track. But then the cart moves at a uniform speed up the slope, then there is no forces acting in the 'forward-direction', gravity is the only force acting on you which pushes you back into your seat.

Answer 6

At about 1 minute, we see the first law, a motionless object stays motionless. This is only true for your body though, there are forces from the chains holding the cart in place so it doesn't start moving down the fall prematurely.

Answer 7

When this mechanism releases, the cart starts accelerating or falling down along the track, and we enter free fall, and accelerate all the way down (gravity is the force acting to produce the acceleration in accordance with the 2nd law)

Answer 8

Or not really all the way down, close to the end, you would feel yourself being strongly pushed down into your seat. This is because our downward motion is slowing down due to forces pushing the cart upwards. The seat therefore pushes up on you and slows your fall, and you push down on the seat (3rd law) which is what you feel.

Answer 9

Ok so...

First law: 1:00
Second: beginning
Third: Going to the hill

Answer 10

down**

Answer 11

Then all sorts of crazy stuff happens and forces are acting in all kinds of directions.

Answer 12

First law is whenever an object keeps moving in the same manner. So if the track would suddenly end the cart would fly right off of it because of the first law, objects in motion want to stay in motion.

Answer 13

Second law is whenever a force is acting, on a roller-coaster ride you feel these forces pushing and pushing you around in your seat.

Answer 14

Third law is just the fact that whenever you push on something, that thing will push back on you. Your seat is pushing you up against the constant force of gravity, and you are pushing down on it, in effect making it "heavier", which you could see on a scale.

Answer 15

So was I right?

Answer 16

Yes, but you could see all three laws in almost all parts of the video. Only thing is that I would say the third law is whenever the seat pushes on you and you push back on it.

Answer 17

Ok, thanks this helped a lot! :D

Answer 18

No problem :)
