As far as launched coasters go, there are typically fins on the side of the coaster car. These fins pass through slits on the side of the track that have a magnetic field in them. The magnetic push or pull is what causes the train to move.

∙ 12y agoMany newer Roller Coasters are launch roller coasters, immediately launching off quickly, instead of making that gradual climb up a hill letting gravity propel the roller coaster. Launch roller coaster mainly use magnets to achieve quick acceleration at the beginning of the roller coaster ride, and sometimes throughout the ride. A roller coaster may also rely on magnetic braking, where magnets slow down the roller coaster.

How do roller coaster go fast?
Roller Coasters go fast because they use gravity to their advantage. Because the cars weigh a lot, they fall at very high speeds from high in the air. Some of the new roller coasters being built also are propelled forward using the force created by high powered magnets.
What type of energy does roller coasters use?
kinetic
What kind of energy do roller coasters have and use?
potential energy
What are the different kinds of wheels on roller coasters?
they dont use wheels they fly
Can you use a trampoline while pregnant?
Sure! You can also ride Roller Coasters too!
Can you use a trampolin while your pregnant?
Sure! You can also ride Roller Coasters too!
Do amusement parks use a special kind of wood for their wooden roller coasters?
No, they use pine. The strength of the roller coaster is not in the wood per se, but in the architecture.
What powers roller coasters?
Roller Coasters are generally moved up the initial hill by electric motors, then dropped, when they are powered completely by gravity. Others use electromagnets to accelerate without gaining initial height.
What is the science behind roller coasters?
The science behind roller coasters is pretty simple. They actually go waaay back in history. Now at days, people use steel or metal to build it. They bolt it together and viola! A Roller Coaster! But one problem, the train that goes on it! The train that goes on it is a magnet and has wheels. The weight of the train and the chains on the roller coaster move it. Happy Searching! :)
What are some good questions about roller coasters?
well here is one you can use......what is kenetic and potential energy?....or where is the biggest roller coaster locatedd...
What do you use electromagnetism in?
Speakers, cranes, roller, coasters, door bells, and many more things
2 types of energy roller coasters use?
Mechanical energy!!!
