SMP: Roller Coasters

Okay, well today was the last physics lecture of this semester. But they'll be back!! 

So this lecture was about the physics of roller coasters (as the title suggests) and it was one of the best ones they've had. I know I said that about the last lecture, which is among the best ones, so is this one. The professor had a great sense of humor and made the talk fun! 

He was lecturing about what is so thrilling about the coaster?

Well, according to the speaker, it's the rapid change in your weight that makes them so addictive. The changes in the "g" forces you experience that make them as much fun as they are. 

We all learned a lot. Here is the speaker's page: David Gerdes
