There are a few math concepts involved with roller coaster design. Algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus are all used. Calculations of kinetic and potential energies must be done. Velocities and accelerations must be computed. Lateral and vertical forces must be figured. Newton's three laws of motion are evident when observing a roller coaster. All three laws can be represented mathematically to some extent. The formula for his second law is known by anyone who has taken high-school physics: F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

∙ 13y agoGeometry is involved in a roller coaster because you will need to figure out how big the roller coaster, how wide it is, how it will be made up, how long the track it is going to be which affects the speed, and that's just a bit.
Try brainstorming yourself, and remember: Everything has to do with math.
