dynamics

Explores how applied physics relates to the design and construction of roller coasters. Describes the physical dynamics of a roller coaster, explaining the role of potential and kinetic energy, friction, gravity, momentum and acceleration. Also introduces how the inertial effects, known as G forces, give roller coaster riders a thrilling experience.

Explains how science and technology influence the designs of cars and motorcycles, describes the forces that act on vehicles, how they are controlled, and what they are made of, and discusses intelligent cars, friction, hybrid cars, and other related topics.

Explains the physics of race car driving, focusing on how NASCAR stock cars are engineered and the applications of engine power, aerodynamics, and tire grip capability.
