...Roller coaster works by the change of potential energy to kinetic energy. This is what drives the roller coaster. All of the kinetic energy you need for the roller coaster ride is there once the coaster goes down the first hill. The size of the first hill determines the speed of the rest of the ride. This works as almost a gravitational pull. Almost all roller coasters are moved by gravity and momentum of the ride going up and down the hills. Once you're going, different types of wheels help keep the ride going smooth and not bumpy. The running wheels will help guide the coaster on the track. The type of roller coaster depends on how the roller coaster starts going up the first hill. The roller coaster is either lifted up the first hill...

...Roller Coasters are not self propelled they are pulled up by a chain or cable along the hill to the first peak of the roller coaster track. When the roller coaster stops it gathers tons of potential energy. When the car races down the track it produces kinetic energy. they also have a lever that lifts the car down the track, but the main thing that helps the car go down the track is Gravity. Gravity is the force that attracts something toward the center of the Earth. The oldest roller coasters originated from Russian, which were constructed out of hills of ice. The drop was 50 feet.

It was a humid and muggy day at the end of the spring and in the beginning of summer. The were hoards of people all over the place and the smell of popcorn filled the air. The normal person would be excited but not me because today I would have to face my fear of going on a roller coaster. My fears of heights and being held upside down did not make a good combination when it came for confidence of going on a roller coaster. As my friends and I walk around my park one of them says how they want to go on the roller coaster. I quickly deflect this and I point to another ride and say maybe we should work our way up. Thankfully my friends agree and we walk to the smaller ride. The smaller ride was over almost as soon as we got on and all of a sudden I found myself walking with my friends to the larger ride. Out of desperation I point to another ride hoping they will agree but they denine saying that we aren’t staying here all day and that we should go on the cool rides. My heart sank deep in my chest.

...other people on the ride. As I neared the line of the roller coaster I could see the terrifying dips and turns on the ride. Once I did, I regretted stepping in the line, but I came to Adventure Land for a reason. So I decided to suck it up and ride the first roller coaster of my life. Nearing the front of the line I could feel my nerves tingle and my fear of heights sink in. It was the last day of school and all the eighth graders had to wake up and go to school at 6:00 in the morning. On that wet and foggy day the farther we rode in a bus, then the sun slowly began to rise. With our meals packed and ready for the day the trip was pretty tiresome as well as boring since it was so early in the morning. As we neared Adventure Land we were handed entrance tickets to enter the park. Setting off to have fun with a buddy of our choosing; I picked one of my good friends Jacob Wenger.

...to the market. I would draw a personal financial market roadmap to figure out my goals and risk tolerance and evaluate my comfort zone in taking risk. However, as I have 1 millions dollars (money paper) to invest, so I have intention to buy high beta stocks with high risk. In this case, I will choose the stock with beta above 1 (riskier than the market). Before you buy stock in a company, you need to do a little light – reading and doing research. Investing in stock without checking out the company beforehand is a recipe for disaster. In this case, I will do a research online like Yahoo Finance, MSN Money, Investor Guide and The Street to find the most volatile stocks with high risk and high return. Investing in volatile stocks is like riding a roller coaster. When the market is on a roll, taking on more risk in your portfolio can have big rewards, but you will have stomach to deal with potential losses. I chose to buy 2,000 shares of Netflix with a market price $91.84 and the beta is 1.32. Netflix is an amazing success story both in entertainment industry and stock investment. Within 3 years, the company stock price has been increasing from $20 a share to over $100 a shares. Investing in Netflix either I can get a lot of money return or lost a lot of money. I also research for most traded stock on Wall Street Survivor to see which popular investing company is. Amazon, Microsoft, Apple and Ford Motor are most traded stock on market. Then I can narrow down the type of...
