In the Cluster that I am currently enrolled in, in physics, we focused our attention to roller coasters. Because roller coasters are quite popular, I needed to know more about how they operate and why they attract people.
a) How do roller coasters work against gravity?
b) Using the Academic Search Premier I was able to find useful information by searching for "Roller Coasters" - "Gravity". This search title worked because I was able be referred me to a useful article on the aspects of the roller coaster.
c) Such words as, operating physics and coasters need to be fine toned. For those are words that I used to fine my information. This did not work properly.
d) I feel like I had too few, or maybe I was just about right on my searches. I believe that if the grammar was toned down or maybe rephrase, a search would possible work. Moreover, I feel that two to five articles could be appropriate.
e) Because these articles can relate to the subject at hand, I did in fact find the answer in the question in hand. Although I did find clues and hints, I had hope to be more specific next time.
f) When one is looking for specific data, the usage of Boolean operators help to condense the junk given. For example, the words and, or, or not can be used to finding the specific book and forget that tone needs to be improved.

I like your question. You not only ask about how the roller coasters work, you also ask about the human reaction to them - why they attract people (or some people, at least). That gets into psychology and you could use a couple of different databases to explore these different aspects of the question.
Academic Search Premier might not be the best place for a search about how roller coasters work, but I'm glad you found something. Also, if you don't get results for roller coasters, you might get results for a broader term such as "carnival rides" or something of that sort.
Good work. Keep exploring!
