  • Skyscreamer Qualitative Questions
    Name: Partner: Teacher: SkyScreamer Sky Screamer is a very tall ride, and as it a result it is difficult to measure the angle of the swing if you are too close to it. When the ride is moving at maximum speed, measure the angle of the swing relative to the vertical. This can be a bit tricky – you need to measure the swing whose support arm is perpendicular to you at the moment of your measurement. This occurs on either the left or right side, and is shown by the horizontal line in the picture. You need to hold your angle meter to measure the angle that the riders on the arm make relative to the vertical (those riders are circled in the picture). Remember – you want to know the angle relative to the vertical! There are two vertical lines drawn in the picture for reference. You may try going taking a photograph of the ride from the Screamin’ Eagle or the Colossus – these vantage points would enable better measuring of the angle. Fill out the following table. Some items will be recorded while on the ride. All FF readings are on the head-to-toe axis Time to rise FF during rise Time for 3 Period at Angle of swing FF at full FF during revolutions at full speed relative to vertical speed descent full speed at full speed Qualitative Questions: 1. Put a check by each thing that happens to you during this ride: Move up _______ Move down ______ Move backward ______ Move forward ______ Move upside down ______ Move in a circle ______ Swing out ______ Swing in ______ 2.

Do different sports and activities. Don’t list every single reason why they’re bad for you Again, this is only wasting your time. Plus, you don’t want to make them feel bad, or even worse it’ll aggra- vate them and they definitely won’t leave you alone. Don’t stoop to their level and focus on “revenge” Have a mindset that it will take time or “getting back at them.” Getting rid of a bad person in your life isn’t always Not only are you starting to act like this person but it’s easy. You can’t just say, “You’re not going to be in my completely stupid. I mean come on, just forgive and life anymore.” That’ll only make them want to bug you forget.

Sensibility – what is that? What in God’s name is An Afterword? I haven’t the faintest idea. And concerning Book design, I am fully ignorant. What is ‘A Slipcase’ supposed to mean again, and what the heck is Boriswood? The Canons of page construction – I don’t know what that is. I haven’t got a clue. How am I supposed to make sense of Traditional Chinese bookbinding, and what the hell is an Initial? Containers are a mystery to me. And what about A Post box, and what on earth is The Hollow Nickel Case? An Ammunition box – dunno. Couldn’t tell you. I’m not well-versed in Postal systems. And I don’t know what Bulk mail is or what is supposed to be special about A Catcher pouch. I don’t know what people mean by ‘Bags’. What’s the deal with The Arhuaca mochila, and what is the mystery about A Bin bag? Am I supposed to be familiar with A Carpet bag? How should I know? Cradleboard? Come again? Never heard of it. I have no idea. A Changing bag – never heard of it. I’ve never heard of Carriages. A Dogcart – what does that mean? A Ralli car? Doesn’t ring a bell. I have absolutely no idea. And what the hell is Tandem, and what is the deal with the Mail coach? 4 I don’t know the first thing about Postal system of the United Kingdom.
