Roller Coaster
Riding Roller coasters are a exciting and thrilling way to spend your day. Although, you may have many questions about them, for instance how is a roller coaster is built? we will try to answer this question using calculus.

Title: Where should a pilot start descent?
Abstract: In our project, we are trying to find out where should a pilot start to land/ descent. The pilot will start at a certain height. Our goal is to find out the speed, height, and length of the runway, from where an airplane should start landing. We will use knowledge of calculus to solve this problem.
Introduction: The cruising Altitude is h when descent starts at a horizontal distance l from touching down at the origin.
The pilot must maintain a constant horizontal speed v throughout descent.
The absolute value of the vertical acceleration should not exceed a constant k ( which is much less than the acceleration due to gravity)
Take the derivative of the equation P(x)=ax3+bx2 with respect to time (t)
(dx/dt) being with respect to time, replace (dx/dt) with (-v). Where (-v) stands the horizontal velocity
Find the derivative again
Substitute a, and b that were found in the previous problem

Abstract:
Where should a pilot start descent?
In our project, we are trying to find out where should a pilot start to land/descent. The pilot will start, [starting] at a certain height. During a certain time of period, the velocity of an airplane will change according to distance from the runway. The formula to calculate the velocity is V = d/t. Our goal is to find out the speed, height, and length [distance] of [from] the runway, from where an airplane should start landing. As we know, the pilot wants to descent at the polynomial of x3, and k is constant. We will use knowledge of calculus to solve this problem.
Group projects – abstracts and OpenLab posts
Please upload your 2-3 sentence abstracts by Thursday night.
I’ve added a number of categories so you can tag your OpenLab posts accordingly. This will help to keep things organized. Each time you post about the group project, please remember to add the categories:
- Group projects – [topic]
- Group projects – [assignment]
For example, the group working on the stock market project will add the categories “Group projects – Stock Market” and “Group projects – Abstract,” when they post their abstract by tomorrow night.
Feedback from peers can be as valuable (or even more valuable) than feedback from me, so please do read other groups’ posts and add comments if you think you have something helpful to say. I’m looking forward to seeing your completed posters!

Webwork Problem
This Monotonicity problem accepts an answer that doesn’t seem correct to me. I’m wondering if anyone encountered this?
Thanks! – Andrew
