What are the different kinds of wheels on roller coasters?
they dont use wheels they fly

Can you use a trampolin while your pregnant?

Do amusement parks use a special kind of wood for their wooden roller coasters?
No, they use pine. The strength of the roller coaster is not in the wood per se, but in the architecture.
What powers roller coasters?
Roller Coasters are generally moved up the initial hill by electric motors, then dropped, when they are powered completely by gravity. Others use electromagnets to accelerate without gaining initial height.
What do you use electromagnetism in?
Speakers, cranes, roller, coasters, door bells, and many more things
How can roller coasters use fossil fuels?
Most, if not all, roller coasters are powered by electricity. Most electricity is still being generated by burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). As this burning emits carbon dioxide you can clearly say that roller coasters are contributing to global warming by using fossil fuels.
Why do people use magnets in roller coasters?
As far as launched coasters go, there are typically fins on the side of the coaster car. These fins pass through slits on the side of the track that have a magnetic field in them. The magnetic push or pull is what causes the train to move.
How do Roller Coasters start at the beginning of the ride?
When the roller coaster is at the peak then the potential energy will be at it's max and as the roller coaster goes downhill then the potential energy will decrease and the kinetic energy will increase.
