How the roller coasters work


Roller coasters are driven entirely on inertial, gravitational forces. Meaning that if a roller coaster rises up it bulids up energy and with many twists and turns on a roller coaster the energy will exert itself due to how the roller coaster is bulit. They are remotely controlled from its operator so that their customers enjoy the excitement that it brings them.

How to build a roller coaster


To know how to build a roller coaster you first have to know a little bit about physics. Things like kinetic and potential energy. As a roller coaster rises and builds up speed that is called potential energy. Kinetic energy is the exertion of this energy by normally a downward motion but it varys on how the roller coaster is built. For any roller coaster to work, these sort of conditions have to be balanced. If not the roller coaster will come to a stop. And of course you need reinforced steel and other materials to help improve the conditions of your roller coaster.

MP3 Players


MP3 players are not just for kids amusements today, they can also be used to store information. Things such as, power point projects, and microsoft word documents. On top of that if you want to listen to your favorite type of music this is something you would like to have in your possession. This is my second reason why i think technology is useful in the classroom.

Cell phones


Cell phones are the center of modern technology existing in the world today. They can be used for GPS navigation, keeping in touch with old friends or relatives, and even emergencies. It can also serve a person as a portable computer providing them with information they need for a school project or job. This is my reason why i think technology is useful in the classroom.
