The Speed of the Roller Coaster at the Top of the Loop
Problem:
Modern roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown in Figure 6.35. The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be greater than the acceleration due to gravity, keeping the passengers pressed firmly into their seats. What is the speed of the…

An alt design (redesign?) for my demon slayer oc, koharu
Wanted to incorporate the little clouds inside the cape for more coherence with the other two Ebisu siblings, and figured that since they’re the main “researcher” of the family, and the one with the least physical strength to offer, their design should lean slightly more into academia with the cape and the hat! Was thinking of making it a tonbi (overcoat with shoulder-cape down to sleeve length and inner jacket) but I think the single long cape makes the design overall easier to read :)

this feels like when ed first opens his eyes underwater in the gravy basket. unsure of what exactly is happening, unsure of exactly why he opened his eyes..
...but driven to do so by hope and light beginning to shine for him again.

Ain't she beautiful? Kumba is still one of the most beautiful roller coaster's in the US, in my opinion. There are not many coasters in the world with a vertical loop AROUND the rides very own lift hill! This loop is one of the SEVEN inversions throughout the whole ride!

Before yesterday, I had never been stopped right under Invertigo's vertical loop in the queue before, but MY LORD-
That is beautiful :)

did you know that i used to make little wire sculptures? i'd make mostly lizards and sharks and trees, but my favorite, potentially most creative one was a dragonfly that hung from a stand so it looked like it was flying. something like this:
i was so proud of myself for coming up with this sculpture

I get increasingly sad the more people call Kumba a “product of its time”. Maybe it’s growing up in Florida in the 2000s, but damn it, I’ll take a nice aggressive older multilooper over some floaty wing/dive and it’s depressing watching one of my fav coaster types fall out of favor.

Achievement of the day: got a classmate to laugh mid-lesson as he peeked at my notes and saw "they're not called sausages anymore :("
