"In classical mechanics, momentum (pl. momenta; SI unit kg m/s, or, equivalently, ·n s) is the product of the mass and velocity of an object (p = mv). In Special_relativity, this quantity is multiplied by the Lorentz factor. Momentum is sometimes referred to as linear momentum to distinguish it from the related subject of angular moentum. Linear momentum is a vector quantity, since it has a direction as well as a magnitude. Angular momentum is a vector quantity because it gains an additional sign flip under an improper rotation. The tpseudovector momentum of any group of objects remains the same unless outside forces act on the objects (law of conservation of momentum)."
Rollercoasters use momentum to keep it rolling while gravity accelerates it.

What else can I help you with?
Why is the tallest hill of a roller coaster always the tallest?
The first 'hill' on a rollercoaster is always the tallest - to give the cars the momentum to carry them to the end of the track.

How many rides does one roller coaster give a day?
It depends on the type of, speed of and distance of the roller coaster.
Why does a roller coaster with more people in it will travel much faster than an empty car?
A roller-coaster would go faster with more people in it because with moer people the better the ride alsothe people that are ridding will give the roller-coaster potential energy. A roller-coaster would go slower with an empty car will give the roller-coaster kinetic energy than with peolpe in it.
Why is the first hill of a roller coaster always the highest?
When you see a roller coaster you have probably noticed that the first hill of the roller is always the highest unless it has given potential energy. Potential energy is force or stored energy. This is happens because not all potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

What Collage degrees needed to design a roller coaster?
I work for a lot of Roller Coaster enthusiast designers such as Bolliger & Mabillard, Arrow Dynamics and Intamin AG. I did not get a masters degree for roller coaster designing, nor should you receive one in this category. I actually got my degree in biology and phisics. Now I give examples using virtual roller coaster designs. But I also work for the Companies and designers. Sorry. I yerned for a degree in this as well, but if you love something set it free.
Could you give a sentence with dizziness?
The flashing lights caused dizziness in some of the visitors. He feel down because of the dizziness from riding the roller coaster.
How does the law of conservation-of energy relate to roller coasters?
It is easier to see this using a traditional roller coaster model. Most traditional Roller Coasters start by using a tow cable to pull them up a large "hill". When being pulled up this hill, mechanical energy is being used to give the roller coaster potential energy. At the top of this hill, the roller coaster has it's maximum potential energy. As it starts to go down another hill, it picks up speed. During the descent it is losing potential energy but at the same time gaining kinetic energy. The coaster will then lose kinetic energy but gain potential energy as it goes up the next hill. This cycle of gaining/losing potential and kinetic energy is the conservation of energy that you are looking for. Of course in a real roller coaster, some energy will be lost due to friction. This will come off as heat in the rails and the wheels of the roller coaster and it's structure.
What do you do when you are on a roller coaster and it crashes?
Well, it depends what you mean by crashing. (1) At the top of the first hill, the roller coaster stops. The best thing to do is to KEEP STILL!!! If people around you are panicing, try your best to tell them to keep calm and still. PLEASE!!! Because, the ride is obviously have ing trouble with the chain on the coaster. If you move to much, the chain will give way and you will crash! (2) If your roller coaster goes off track ( not going to happen) then Im sorry, but say a prayer and hope you make it... Other than so, always remember in such a situation, DO NOT PANIC!!!!
Is there cheats for roller coaster tycoon 1?
There are several cheats, but none of them directly give you more cash. You need to rename park guests. Check gamewinners.com for the names.
