How are the height of the hills on a roller coaster designed to help an empty cart to reach the end of the ride?

The height of the hills decrease so the carts will loose momentum in order to make it to the end.

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.
How the heights of the hills on a roller coaster are designed to help an empty car to reach the end of the ride?
They have a device called a troll. This will give the car enough potential energy for it to reach the end.
Would an empty roller coaster and full roller coaster take the same time for a single trip?
depends on the ride, if it goes up or down, if it has a chain lift, if it just drops, etc.
How do the heights of the hills in a roller coaster allow an empty car to finish the ride?
It gives it kinectic energy

Why is it important for engineers to understand how roller coasters work?
roller coasters are important because without roller coasters kids would be melancholy and what would be the whole point of going to an amusement park if half of there place is empty.
Why does Newton's first law of motion relate to roller coasters?
Newton's first law of motion states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion. This is what keeps the roller coaster rolling through the hills and turns after it accelerates down the initial ramp. Also, the riders inside the car will experience changes in accleration and apparent weight. The riders will keep going at the same speed in the same direction unless some other force (the seat) acts on them to change that speed or direction. At the bottom of hills, they try to continue downward, and are pressed into the seat. At the tops, the riders are lifted up in their seats as they try to continue upward even as the seat pulls them down into the next drop. The same thing occurs on turns, where riders are pushed into the side of the seat as the coaster turns. (This is the reason for harnesses, seat belts, and restraining bars.)
Can a chickens full crop kill her if it does not empty?
no i don't think so. It is very stretchy and is designed to empty quickly. I have chickens and i have never experienced it.

Would an empty beer can thrown from a great height kill someone if it hit them in the head?
No, an empty can does not have enough mass per volume to kill someone, but they might chase you down and kill for throwing it at them!
How the heights of the hills are designed to help an empty car to reach the end of the ride?
The purpose of the coaster's initial ascent is to build up a sort of reservoir of potential energy. The concept of potential energy, often referred to as energy of position, is very simple: As the coaster gets higher in the air, gravitycan pull it down a greater distance. You experience this phenomenon all the time -- think about driving your car, riding your bikeor pulling your sled to the top of a big hill. The potential energy you build going up the hill can be released as kinetic energy -- the energy of motion that takes you down the hill.Once you start cruising down that first hill, gravity takes over and all the built-up potential e­nergy changes to kinetic energy. Gravity applies a constant downward force on the cars.­Click play to start the animation, which demonstrates how a roller coaster's energy is constantly changing between potential and kinetic energy. At the top of the first lift hill (a), there is maximum potential energy because the train is as high as it gets. As the train starts down the hill, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy -- the train speeds up. At the bottom of the hill (b), there is maximum kinetic energy and little potential energy. The kinetic energy propels the train up the second hill (c), building up the potential-energy level. As the train enters the loop-the-loop (d), it has a lot of kinetic energy and not much potential energy. The potential-energy level builds as the train speeds to the top of the loop (e), but it is soon converted back to kinetic energy as the train leaves the loop.The coaster tracks serve to channel this force -- they control the way the coaster cars fall. If the tracks slope down, gravity pulls the front of the car toward the ground, so it accelerates. If the tracks tilt up, gravity applies a downward force on the back of the coaster, so it decelerates.­Since an object in motion tends to stay in motion (Newton's first law of motion), the coaster car will maintain a forward velocity even when it is moving up the track, opposite the force of gravity. When the coaster ascends one of the smaller hills that follows the initial lift hill, its kinetic energy changes back to potential energy. In this way, the course of the track is constantly converting energy from kinetic to potential and back again.This fluctuation in acceleration is what makes roller coasters so much fun. In most roller coasters, the hills decrease in height as you move along the track. This is necessary because the total energy reservoir built up in the lift hill is gradually lost to friction between the train and the track, as well as between the train and the air. When the train coasts to the end of the track, the energy reservoir is almost completely empty. At this point, the train either comes to a stop or is sent up the lift hill for another ride.
