ROLLERCOASTER

If you prefer you can do it with lego.

 MATERIALS
 
Lego building blocks
Lego train rails


 1 Make an outline of how it will look on paper roller coaster when ready. Calculate how many pieces of track will be needed for the size of the roller coaster. The bigger the line, the bigger the roller coaster.
     

     2  Started by providing pathways such as have drawn. Organize your Lego blocks to make it easier to test different parts as you go. Make ups or curls to the track to make it interesting.
     

   3  Try the curlers with a car to see if the height is correct. This will also serve to test if you added some curves. If a car gets on the track, adds another. Keep adding cars until you reach the desired number of cars on the road.

ROLLER COASTERS!

How to make a roller coaster:

1 Cut the pipe insulation in half to have a track 12 feet (3.60 m). Adhere the two sections with tape. Apply the tape along the bottom of the track. Determine where you will build the roller coaster. This model is not mobile and must be built in the classroom. The beginning of the roller coaster should be 3.5 feet (1.05 m ) above the ground .
    

 2 Cut a strip of cardboard of four inches (10.16 cm ) wide square cardboard . Fold in half to form two legs remaining stops on a flat surface. This will be the first holder of the roller coaster. Cut a strip of cardboard second four inches (10.16 cm ) wide square cardboard . Cut this strip in half to form 2 feet. Fold one in half to make the second support roller coaster . Cut another section and fold in half to form the support of the third hill. Cut a small circle at the top of each support to prevent the track from slipping.
   

 3 It measures 3.5 feet (1.05 m) from the floor and tape one end of the tube attached to a table or even to keep it at this point . Fold gently into the tube where he is touching the floor and placed the stand 2 feet (60 cm) below the first hill. Fold the tube with the osporte suidado 1 foot (30 cm) below the second hill again and coloa . Repeat for the lower hill. Place the paper cup into soil at the end of the track so that the marble into it.
    
4 Give a marble roller coaster . The size of the marble affect energy , so it is possible that the hills be adjusted slightly. So that they are lower , separated a little stand legs .

"Six Flags" Field trip questions


Individual ride questionnaire:
Name of the Ride:___________________________________________________
1.- Does it use Potential and/or Kinetic energy?
2.- Why don’t rollercoasters fall down whilst in a loop?*
3.- Which forces are at work in the ride?
-Gravity
-Magnetism
4.- Why is this ride fun?
5.- How does the ride come to a stop?
6.- Is this the strongest ride in the park?
7.- What is the speed of the ride?
8.-  What is the pull or push felt right before a ride begins?
9.- How many “G’s” do we experience in the ride?
10.- Describe the sensations experiences during the ride.
11.- What is the maximum height of the ride?

General Questionnaire:
1.- Which was the first ride built in the park? Was it fast?
2.- How does the Superman use magnets?
3.- Kilauea: When you begin your downward movement, does the ride push down or is it only gravity pulling down?
4.- Why do we experience changes in speed during the ride?
5.- How fast does the superman ride move?
6.- Why is there a motor at the top of the Boomerang ride?
7.- Why do you feel like flying in the Superman ride?
8.- What are “G’s”?
9.-Can a rollercoaster kill you?
10.- Why does Splash mountain move so much water?
11.- Who designs and builds the rides in the park?

Logic gates

Logic gate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
logic gate is an idealized or physical device implementing a Boolean function, that is, it performs a logical operation on one or more logical inputs, and produces a single logical output. Depending on the context, the term may refer to an ideal logic gate, one that has for instance zero rise time and unlimited fan-out, or it may refer to a non-ideal physical device[1] (see Ideal and real op-amps for comparison).
Logic gates are primarily implemented using diodes or transistors acting as electronic switches, but can also be constructed using electromagnetic relays (relay logic), fluidic logicpneumatic logicopticsmolecules, or even mechanical elements. With amplification, logic gates can be cascaded in the same way that Boolean functions can be composed, allowing the construction of a physical model of all of Boolean logic, and therefore, all of the algorithms and mathematics that can be described with Boolean logic.
Logic circuits include such devices as multiplexersregistersarithmetic logic units (ALUs), and computer memory, all the way up through complete microprocessors, which may contain more than 100 million gates. In practice, the gates are made from field-effect transistors (FETs), particularly MOSFETs (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors).
Compound logic gates AND-OR-Invert (AOI) and OR-AND-Invert (OAI) are often employed in circuit design because their construction using MOSFETs is simpler and more efficient than the sum of the individual gates.[2]

The Genius of Invention: Power

From the first steam engine to Biofuel and future sources of energy. This rather lengthy documentary by the BBC covers most of our subjects. We'll discuss it in class and watch it a little bit at a time, as we understand the different aspects of the work we used to do and the work our machines do for us now.

Magnetism

I am going to put a video of magnetism. I hope you enjoy it and understand it:


BAZZINGA!!!

Magnetism

Newton and Joule

What is a Newton?

A Newton (N) is equal to the force that would give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of one meter per second per second. So...

The force necessary to push an object of one kilogram of mass so that it accelerates one meter per second faster every second.

Ok...?

But we are using joules (J) to measure the energy an object has.

What is a Joule?

A force of 1 newton exerted over a distance of 1 meter.
or...
J = m2kgs-2


Examples

To get an idea of how much energy a joule actually is, it helps to look at some everyday examples. 
A joule is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of cool, dry air by 1.0°C. An average person sitting quietly produces 100 J of heat every second. 








The amount of energy required to lift a small apple 1 meter against the Earth's gravity is roughly equivalent to 1 J.

MAGNETISM:

Magnetism is a force of attraction or replusion that acts at a distance. It is due to a magnetic field, which is caused by moving electrically charged particles. It is also inherent in magnetic objects such as a magnet.
A magnet is an object that exhibits a strong magnetic field and will attract materials like iron to it. Magnets have two poles, called the north (N) and south (S) poles. Two magnets will be attacted by their opposite poles, and each will repel the like pole of the other magnet. Magnetism has many uses in modern life.

A math riddle!

Here is a riddle challenge for you:

You see an mp3 player at the store that costs 97 dollars.

You don't have the money so your dad gives you a 50 dollar bill and your mom gives you another 50.

You buy the mp3 player and the clerk gives you back 3 dollars.

You give back your dad 1 dollar, then you give back your mom 1 dollar and you keep the other dollar.

You owe your dad 49 dollars, and your mom 49 dollars.

49 + 49 = 98 dollars, plus the dollar you kept as change is 99 dollars, that is 49 + 49 + 1 = 99 dollars

If they lent you 100 dollars, what happened to the missing dollar???
