On a Roller Coaster where is the potential energy?
When the roller coaster is at its highest position and is not moving then its potential energy is highest
Where is potential energy on a roller coaster?
When the roller coaster is at its highest position and is not moving then its potential energy is highest
Where is potential energy the highest on a roller coaster?
When the roller coaster is at its highest position and is not moving then its potential energy is highest
In energy transformations when a roller coaster is at the top of the hill the kinetic energy is?
Kinetic energy comes from movement. If the roller coaster is moving at the top of the hill, it has kinetic energy. if the rollercoaster isn't moving then it has potential energy.
Does the roller coaster need kinetic energy to move down the tracks?
If its moving it has kinetic energy
What causes some of the potential energy of the moving roller coaster to be converted to thermal energy?
Friction
Does a roller coaster have more potential energy at the top of the hill or at the bottom?
A roller coaster has more potential energy at the bottom. There are 2 types of energy, potential and kinetic. energy closer to a surface or floor is potential energy and objects in the middle of it all has kinetic energy.
When does a roller coaster increase kinetic energy?
The roller coaster increases kinetic energy when its velocity is increasing.
Does an object have kinetic energy because it is moving?
yes kinetic energy is energy being released, for example going down a roller coaster
Where is the kinetic energy the highest on a roller coaster?
The cars of a roller coaster reach their maximum kinetic energy when at the bottom of their path.
Is a roller coaster the only example of a closed energy system?
No, the roller coaster is not the only example of a closed energy system.
A moving inclined plane?
roller coaster is a moving inclined plane
