Still coasting!



























Hey SOFers! Today we had the pleasure of watching Naje try out his horrible roller coaster ideas and fail epically. We were able to see the relationship between height and gravitational potential energy, between velocity and kinetic energy, and between friction and dissipated energy(heat/thermal energy and sound energy). It was a lot of fun testing out those designs and looking at the physics involved. Hey wait a second...physics and fun in the same sentence...is that possible? Hmm...

Lucky for you this weekend's homework is to continue working on the Coaster Creator Lab and complete it by Monday. Next week should bring more fun with Physics. Til then have a great weekend! (and finish the lab and postlab!)
