Which is scarier nitro or king da ka?

It depends on your roller coaster standards.

Most people would say King Da Ka, due to the fact that there is a 465 ( I think? ) Hill that goes nearly straight up, straight down with cork screws that also go up and down. Another reason that King Da Ka might be scarier is bcause of the rollback factor.

Rollback is when they start the rollercoaster, but it doesn't make it all the way up the hill, and just rolls right back down. Some people feel like this is the freakiest thing ever, but it's actually pretty cool.

Bottom line, it depends on your standards. If you are not a roller coaster person at all, then Nitro might be really scary, but King Da Ka I think would be MUCH scarier.

Is going on the batman roller coaster at six flags new England scary?

It goes upside-down five times, but it isn't intense. You get pressed into your seat a bit at the bottom of some of the drops (but not even close to the point of pain), and you do get that sharp turn feeling on the corkscrews, but other than that, the ride is just as intense if not less intense than Cyclone.

It can be a bit rough in the back. The most intense part is the third inversion, which feels like going over a big hill on a regular coaster, but flipping over at the same time. The ride is not scary at all. If you want scary, sit in the back car of Cyclone and put your arms up on the first drop.

Why is the teardrop elliptical loop a much better design for roller coasters than the circle loop design?

A teardrop loop helps equally distribute the forces around the loop, as you end up slowing down as you crest, so it will get tighter as it goes up. In a circular loop, there is A: Ejector airtime at the top and B: Increased, and possible dangerous, G-Forces at the bottom of the loop.

One. One second is equal to one second.
Its a bit like asking "how many apples in an apple?" Answer - one. If you wish to divide seconds into smaller units the usual way is to use tenths and hundredths of a second. For example, in athletics the current World Record for running 100 metres is held by the Jamaican Athlete Asafa Powell who ran 100 metres in 9.74 seconds in September 2007. This means his time was nine seconds and seventy-four hundredths of a second.
