What does potential energy do with a roller coaster?
When the roller coaster - or any object, for that matter - is at its highest point, it has more potential energy than when it is at a lower point.
Where is the potential energy of the greatest on a roller coaster?
It is when the car is at its highest point.
What kind of energy happens when a roller coaster reaches the very top of the track just brfore it starts back down?
At that point the roller coaster car has maximum potential energy and zero kinetic energy.
Name to cedar point newest roller coaster?
rock and roller coaster
What is the role of kinetic energy in the roller coaster?
To bring the riders back to the starting point.
How does something turn from kinetic energy to potential energy?
kinetic energy is energy in motion. potential is like a roller coaster you start at the bottom and go up to highest point of the coaster and yougain potential energy as you move to the highest point of the coaster and when you go down the peak point the potential energy the coaster was gaining is transferred to kinetic energy.
What point on the roller coaster's path represents the maximum kinetic energy?
When going around a corner
What is the smallest roller coaster at Cedar Point?
The smallest roller coaster at Cedar Point is Wilderness Run. It is a kiddie roller coaster that is only 19 feet tall and goes 6 mph.
What is usually the highest point on a roller coaster?
The top of the first hill. This is where the coaster has its greatest amount of potential energy which is converted to kinetic energy as it moves along the track.
What is the name of Cedar Point's newest roller coaster?
The newest roller coaster for Cedar Point is GateKeeper. It opened in May, 2013.
If a roller coaster car is pulled by a chain at the beginning of the ride what kind of energy is present at this point?
The motor that drives the chain is being fuelled with electrical energy, which it converts into kinetic energy to move the chain. The chain supplies the rollercoaster carriage with kinetic energy and (hence why its harder to pull something up a slope) gravitational-potential energy. When the chain releases the carriage, and it speeds down the track, it converts its GPE into kinetic energy and thermal/sound wastes.
What is the last built roller coaster at cedar point amusement park?
GateKeeper is the newest ride at Cedar Point which opened in 2013.
