Kings Dominon would have "Physics Day" where students went for free and had to do problems about the rides.
Cedar Point did the same thing.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Gud, last year's final (not written by me) contained a question very similar to yours!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If you seated in a closed car with a helium balloon and the car accelerates forward does the balloon move backward, forward, or neither relative to you?
Forward. The atmospheric density would increase towards the back of the car, pushing the balloon forward. Looking at it another way, the acceleration would be as if the car had been tilted back, causing the balloon to float up/forward.

I try to write as many questions as possible in terms of amusement park rides. Almost all of the basic Newtonian physics can be very well explained using amusement park rides.
Nilly, we had Physics Day in high school, where we spent the day at Six Flags riding rollercoasters and collecting position/velocity data.
My friend was a physics teacher, and Kings Dominon would have "Physics Day" where students went for free and had to do problems about the rides.
Er, yeah, what Vortex said.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why does the atmospheric density increase towards the back?

I don't believe you. Air doesn't weigh anything! That's why it's air.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How come I took two years of physics in high school and never got to go to an amusement park once??

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

What's the chances of her daughter not being totally screwed up?
well, Howard seemed fairly normal in the beginning. Maybe now that Anna (and the cameras) are gone, he'll go back to being a regular guy.
