    Write a 5 paragraph essay on either how a roller coaster works; and explain utilizing Newton's 3 laws of motion, gravity, and friction. Be sure to include an introduction and conclusion. Do you ever wonder why things move and stop? Do you ever wonder why things move up and down? The reason behind motion is something called the 4 forces, thrust, lift, drag, and gravity. Thrust is the force which pushes an object forward. Lift is the force which causes an object to fly. Drag is the force which slows

    exerted on either an object in motion or at rest, these states of motion can change. For example, when launching a projectile from the catapult, the object was initially at rest until the force exerted by the catapult arm launches the catapult into the air. While in the air, the projectile experiences another force (gravity) which causes its path of motion to change. This path of motion is called projectile motion, or the combination of horizontal and vertical motion that happens on any thrown object
