when you put it into the real world it can be very exciting, if you imagine that a and b and x and y actually have real quantifiable objects or variablesthen it gets quite fun... how do roller coasters work, that'll be thanks to fiddling about with force = mass × acceleration and Work Done and other things but it'll boil down from that to finding the best speed or the necessary speed to go up the next rise via algebra.

roller coasters?see this is the sort of lunacy all your science leads to, it's madness i tells ya, why in the name of all that is holy would anyone be damn fool enough to go on a roller coaster, if god had meant us to go on roller coasters he wouldn't have invented height restrictions and queues and throwing up your dinner and stuff.
