What is the stop height on a roller coaster and how is it affected by friction and air resistance?

Oh, dude, the stop height on a roller coaster is the point where the coaster comes to a stop, usually at the end of the ride. Friction and air resistance can affect the stop height by slowing down the coaster as it moves along the track. So, like, if there's a lot of friction or air resistance, the coaster might stop at a lower height than if it was super smooth sailing.


How do they stop a rollet coaster?

Brakes, either using friction or magnets, are used to slow down or stop the train usally at the end of a roller coaster ride.

Where is static friction in roller coaster?

yes; wherever the coaster touches the tracks there is static friction pressing against it and it pressing against the tracks, thus keeping it from flying off.


Where does a roller coaster have the most negative friction?

Upside down.


What is Thermal energy relating to a roller coaster?

Thermal energy is heat. Heat is associated with motion (like a roller coaster) because of friction. Friction slows down the speed of an object and changes some of its kinetic energy into heat.


What types of friction are on a roller coaster?

It provides undesired slowing of the coaster on its path but it is essential for the brakes to stop it at the station.


How do roller coaster stop?

they have a braking system


What is a wooden roller coaster?

a roller coaster that's made from wood of course duhhhhhhh..... sike naw im just kidding a wooden roller coaster conducts more heat than a steel roller coaster because it has more rough edges and that creates more friction and that makes heat. o a wooden roller coaster conductes more heat than a steel roller coaster does.


How much friction do roller coasters have?

Friction, slows the roller coaster down to a slow enough pace that it eventually stops.
