Abstract
As a youngster, you may have visited an amusement park where you were captivated by the variety of entertainment, diversions, rides, and contests. You may have since wondered about the engineering marvels ranging from the stupefying Ninga challenge roller coaster to the pleasurable Ferris wheel. As an adult, you have undoubtedly been exposed to the technological wonders of space exploration and to the stunning accuracy of modern weapons systems. The analysis and design of such systems of peace and combat require experimentation, innovative approaches, unique experience, and much insight. The examination of many such kinetic problems is often made easier using energy principles.
