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.
A rollar coaster stop at the top of the hill What can you infer about its kinetic energy?
The roller coaster does not have kinetic energy at the top of the hill
How do you calculate the gain of Kinetic Energy?
You calculate the new kinetic energy, you calculate the old kinetic energy, then you subtract.
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.
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 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.
Does the roller coaster need kinetic energy to move down the tracks?
If its moving it has kinetic energy
When does a coaster have a large amount of Kinetic Energy and when does it have a large amount of Potential Energy?
The coaster have a large amount of potential energy when it gain height, kinetic energy when it gain speed instead.
What type of energy roller coaster use?
kinetic
How does speed affect a rollet coaster?
it has more kinetic energy. if this is a problem for school, use the equation for kinetic energy.
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.
