How has the roller skates changed over the years?
advancement in roller skates has changed dramatically. when roller skates were invented, they were something like this: a wooden plate resting on two sticks attached with wheels. as scince and technology changed, roller skates also strted to develope. around 1980's the new model of roller skates came out. this time it was much stable and quicker than the previous ones. those skates used ball bearings fitted in the wheels. the top was made of metal. these days they are more advanced. they still use ball bearings, metal top but added with a fluid, which allows to gain a quick and fast speed.
Relationship between operating system and windows?
It's blurred (intentionally, by Microsoft). An operating system is the program that allows the computer to communicate with all its parts. Windows is a GUI (graphic user interface) that "allows" humans to operate a computer. Believe it or not, under the pretty pictures, (and that long pause after you turn it on), your computer is still running DOS (or MSDOS : Microsoft disk operating system)
Does Harlem New York have wooden streets?
No, it has concrete streets and sidewalks, like every other New York City neighborhood. Some of the streets in Lower Manhattan still have cobblestone streets, but not Harlem, as it is in Upper Manhattan.
Why the output of the operational amplifier positive even if the inverting input voltage is more also?
If the output of the operational amplifier is inconsistent with the inputs, then you are operating outside of the limits of the device. You might also have experienced lockup, a characteristic where the output locks in one state, but this still stems from operating outside of limits. Make sure the inputs are always within the specified range.
Is the c17 and the c117 the same airplane and im not talking about the old c117 thank you all?
Both Aircraft are Cargo 'planes. The C17 is a Globemaster III still in use in a number of Military forces around the globe. The only reference I could find for a C117 is a modification of the C47 to enable a higher operating altitude. The C117 does not appear to still be in service
When was the first steel coaster made?
"In 1959, the Disneyland theme park introduced a new design breakthrough in roller coasters with the Matterhorn Bobsleds. This was the first roller coaster to use a tubular steel track. Unlike conventional wooden rails, tubular steel can be bent in any direction, which allows designers to incorporate loops, corkscrews, and many other maneuvers into their designs. Most modern roller coasters are made of steel, although wooden roller coasters are still being built." - Wikipedia
Are roller coasters getting faster and stronger?
Yes. Roller coasters are getting much more faster and lot stronger than before. Every single day roller coasters are getting upgraded to make it even more terrifying. In every year, roller coasters are getting a lot scarier and way much more terrifying and it could be possible for roller coasters to get stuck up there but roller coasters still can get down once it was fixed.no
How can roller coasters use fossil fuels?
Most, if not all, roller coasters are powered by electricity. Most electricity is still being generated by burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). As this burning emits carbon dioxide you can clearly say that roller coasters are contributing to global warming by using fossil fuels.
Do roller coasters actually move?
Of course they move! And no, the track won't actually move and the roller coaster stays still. It is all powered by electricity, you see!

What is the best ride at Chicago Six Flags for people that are afraid of roller coasters?
Well, it depends on if the person is trying to avoid roller coasters, or if they want to face their fear and try one. If they do want to try a roller coaster, The Dark Knight coaster would be a good one to start out with. It's a "family" coaster, rather than a thrill ride, so it doesn't go very fast, and doesn't have any loops or really big drops. American Eagle and Viper are both wooden coasters, and are a bit more intense than Dark Knight, but they still don't go upside down, so those also might be good ones to try first. But if they are just terrified of coasters an don't want to ride them at all, there are still plenty of non-roller coaster "family" rides that aren't too intense (see the related link below).
When was the peek of roller coaster?
The peak of coasters were in the 1920s-1940s. This is when the coaster first came to America and to coaster enthusiasts these years are considered the Golden Years. However, still to this day coasters are popular all around the world. For more info I suggest reading "The American Roller Coaster" by Scott Rutherford. It's a great book for history and everything you need to know about coasters.

Can you queue front-row for the roller coasters at Pleasure Beach Blackpool?
No, you queue up in the same queue with everyone else, but you can still request the front row (NICELY!) and you'll more likely than not get it.
How do they stop a roller coaster?
There are two main ways: Friction brakes- There is a steel fin attached to the bottom of the car. This passes through a little slit on the track and then pressure is used to open and close that. Obviously, when it's closed the car will stop and when it's open the car will going. Magnetic brakes- There are fins on the side of the car that then pass through slits on the side of the track with magnetic pull. When the two forces act upon each other the car then stops. Magnetic brakes are more modern and are becoming more common on steel coasters. However, friction brakes are still being used on new and old wooden coasters as well as older steel coasters.
