Summary: This week I learned more about how speed works in a roller coaster. If the starting point of the marble is higher then the speed increases. I also learned that if the marble doesn’t go fast enough then, on a loop the marble stops or falls off of the coaster. Newton’s laws also apply to the roller coaster in a way because the marble wouldn’t move if there wasn’t enough force to keep it moving, the first law. When the marble is let go and it starts moving it’s the action while the reaction is when the marble puts strain on the coaster.

SP5: Mathematics and computational thinking
Mathematical and computational approaches enable prediction of the behavior of physical systems along with the testing of such predictions.

Did you perform any math calculations?

Yes we needed to calculate how much our materials would cost and what we would have left.
