    Well with newton's second law if you are going at a certain speed if you go upside down you can stay in your seat so when Calvin goes with his good start he should stay on the sled.

    1)Yes, cause if you have speed you will stay where you are as you go upside down.

    2)Friction will slow him down as he goes upside down perhaps.

    3)If he isn't going fast enough then he could end up not makeing the loop.

  2. It makes a difference where Calvin begins his decent because the faster and farther he goes gives him a greater force. The friction figures into his scheme because snow and ice have very little friction. Gravity will affect Calvin's loop because it will pull him down.

  3. Newton's second law of motion states that an object acted upon by net force will accelerate in the force and the acceleration of the net force devided by the objects mass. With newton's second law if you are going at a certain speed if you go upside down you can stay in your seat so when Calvin goes with his good start he should stay on the sled.

    1)Yes because if he has speed he will stay where he are as he goes upside down.

    2)Friction will slow him down as he goes upside down.

    3)If he isn't going fast enough then he could end up not making the loop because gravity will pull him down.

  5. The centripetal force makes the object believe that the center is up. Therefore, while the object its going upside-down, it believes that it is going straight. This causes it to continue in it's regular motion, allowing it to go through the loop with out problem.
    1. Yes. The steeper the slope, the more acceleration it will gain. It needs acceleration to continue its forward motion through the loop.
    2. Friction will eventually bring him to a stop, so he needs to have enough force and acceleration to continue his movement without friction stopping him.
    3. Gravity will affect Calvin when he enters the loop by using centripetal force. Centripetal force makes the sled believe that the center is up, therefore, gravity is pulling it "down," or towards the outside of the loop.

    When Calvin starts further back he will go faster than if he started closer. The snow in the picture will slow down Calvin when he is going towards the loop and the air will also. When he is at the top of the loop if he doesn't have enough speed he will fall toward the ground from gravity.

  7. Calvin is pulling the sled up the hill to get a faster speed. with that speed he will get enough centripetal force to hold his body from falling when he gets to the top.

    1.Yes, because if he doesn't get enough force when he hits the ramp he could fall when ho goes upside down.
    2.Friction takes place slowing down the sled while he was going down the hill, so he would have to get enough speed.
    3.He will fall of the top if he is going to slow.

  8. Newton's 2nd law says that f=ma which means that the more force you put on the sled the faster it will go The more acceleration he has the more force he will have to overcome gravity in the loop


    1.)yes, the higher he goes on the hill the more accleration he will have

    2.) the runners on the sled are in contact with the snow which creates friction

    3.) IF he's not going fast enough he will fall

  9. Yes i have gone on a roller coaster that has gone upside down. What kept the the cars on the track was the force that was exerted on the carts because it was going so fast. Calvin needs to get far enough up so he can get enough speed going so there can be enough force exerted on him so that he can stay on the sled. Parker and Devin

  10. Momentum keeps the sled on the loop D'loop. Acceleration keeps sled from falling to the plummet below. Acceleration keeps it going, also the mass keeps him going so the force is generated better. If he didn't have Newton's Second Law he would fall on his head.
    1.Yes, because he needs enough acceleration to stay on the sled.
    2. The friction would slow him down so he has to have a high acceleration.
    3. Gravity will try and pull him to the ground.

  11. When going on a loop on a roller coaster, the centripical force is what keeps the car on the track. Newton's second law applies to a roller coaster car because F=MA which is Force= Mass x Acceleration. The mass of the car times how fast it is going will equal the force that is being applied to the car, which is keeping it on the track.

    1. Yes, because the farther up you are, you will go faster and the closer you are to the ground, you will go slower.

    2. Friction will eventually stop the sled.

    3. Gravity might bring Calvin to the ground when he is upside down.

  12. 1. yes the higher up the hill he is, the faster he will go

    2.It will dramatically slow him down

    3. He will loop the loop and go down the hill.

  13. The sled stays on the track upside down because it going to fast and it pulling to the center.

    1)yes because if you didn't have the speed you would fall.
    2) friction makes a difference because the sled is smooth and lets him move at a speed that will let him go upside down.
    3)gravity will pull him down

  14. Centripetal Force is what makes Calvin stay on the track. Newton's Second Law relates to the track because acceleration of the car times the mass of the car equals the force that the car has. The force is what keeps the car on the track. Yes, it makes difference where Calvin starts because the farther back he starts the more force he will build up when he slides on to the track. Friction applies to the story because it will eventually make the sled stop. Gravity relates because if he doesn't have enough force then gravitational pull will make Calvin fall to the ground.

  15. The loop d'loop is an example of the second law of motion because the more speed the further the distance and the better he stays on the sled.

    1. It would make a difference because one side is uphill and the other side is downhill.
    The higher up the easier it is to get started.

    2. Friction is going to end up slowing him down and keep him on the loop.

    3. Calvin will fall because of gravity pulling him down.
