<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Safety: <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">What safety features were in place? <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Describe the weight sensations on the way up, down, and at the bottom of the first hill. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Describe the excitement level. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Thrill Factors
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">A break system, which slowed us down, along with a locking bar system with seat belts to hold riders in
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">up: heavy, leaning back
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">down: light, air pressure pressing on face
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">first hill: heavier
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">up: kind of boring, waiting for something more exciting to happen
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">down: really fun, felt weightless, exhilarating
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">bottom: a lot of pressure, felt heavy
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The thrill can be attributed to air on your face. Inaddition, it can also be due to the fact that you were upside down for a decent amount of time and there were frequent changes in vertical as well as horizontal position. There was a heavy feeling during flips which made the ride more exciting.

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Sky Screamer: Magna <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The Radius was found on the Six Flags website, it can also be found on the manufacture's website. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">We talked to the technician of the ride, he told us that the RMP was 12.73.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">There is a counter weight program that makes sure that the tension is constant so no one goes flying off. There is also a crotch strap and seatbelt to keep riders strapped in.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Min: low excitement, nothing really interesting or fun going on, waiting to be lifted higher.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Max: Super excited, exhilarating.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The air rushing by our faces was thrilling. Additionally, the fact that we were tilted sideways was exciting as well. Since gravity was the only force working on us, it felt like we were almost weightless.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Min: there was no "bottom" to this ride so we did not feel any different than normal.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Max: We felt much lighter, almost like we were floating.

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">3)Evaluate Accuracy <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Our results for the SkyScreamer were extremely accurate. This is because our ride was very easy to find the period, since the ride technician talked to us about it as well as the fact that it was easy to time it for additional data. When we went up in the ride both of us used a stop watch to time the revolutions. Our calculations were strait forward, which made it easy to evaluate, but also made it easy to get good results since there weren't that many factors playing in this ride. The reason that our results weren't perfect was the amount of air resistance that we encountered. It was very windy the day that we went on the ride which made it hard to be perfect. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">4)Evaluate Safety <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">5)Thinking about the Physics
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">#g’s
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The g's that we experienced on this ride were about 2.65, which is a good amount of acceleration, but not enough to make you really feel sick.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Was there correlation between #g’s and excitement level?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Yes, the g's as they got more intense so did the ride, but since it didn't go over 3 g's we never got to the point that turns from excitement to dread.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Explain the behavior of the mass on the string. Did the FBD of the car correlate to that of the mass? Why or why not?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Our FBD's are exactly the same for the cart as well as the mass on sting. This is due mostly to the fact that the cart that we were sitting in was a mass on a string. It makes sense that this would be the FBD for both.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Discuss the graphs that you created and why they curve the way that they do.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Fc vs. T - this graph doesn't change since there is no change in Fc, so it is always constant.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">A vs. T - This graph is a triangle because as the ride starts it accelerates, then reaches a top speed. After it reaches the top speed it comes back down and decelerates, which is why our graph is a triangle.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Thrill vs. A - This graph is the same as the Acceleration graph since it is based off the same data, as the Acceleration increases, and decreases the Thrill does too. Had the g's exceeded 4, then the thrill would have plummeted greatly since it would make you sick.
