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
When does a roller coaster increase kinetic energy?
The roller coaster increases kinetic energy when its velocity is increasing.
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.
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.
How does energy usage of a model roller coaster compare to energy usage of a real roller coaster?
The model uses less energy than the real one does.
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
How much mechanical energy is at the top of a roller coaster?
It depends on the roller coaster's height,speed,and location. :p
What energy is in a roller coaster?
Potential energy is used when going up hill on a roller coaster. When it starts gong down the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Where does a roller coaster have the lowest amount of kinetic energy?
at the top of the first hill, just before the first drop
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.
