What is the difference between a hyper-coaster and a giga-coaster?
A hyper-coaster is a large roller coaster that has a lift hill height of at least 200 feet. A giga-coaster is larger, with a lift hill of at least 300 feet.
Where is potential energy the highest on a roller coaster?
The potential energy is highest at the top of the first hill or peak of the roller coaster because it is at its maximum height above the ground. As the roller coaster descends, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the car gains speed.
What is the motor called that lifts you up the first hill on a roller coaster?
on a roller coaster what is the motor called that lifts you up on the first hill
What is a coaster in roller coaster?
The word "coaster" in roller coaster refers to the method of travel. Roller coaster trains are not powered. Instead they coast from one hill to the next on a set of wheels (or rollers), hence the name.
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.
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 high does the first hill on a roller coaster have to be?
100 yards
What is an example of potiential energy to kinetic energy?
An example of potential energy transforming into kinetic energy is when a roller coaster reaches the top of a hill where it has high potential energy due to its height. As the roller coaster descends the hill, the potential energy converts into kinetic energy as it gains speed.
What is the name of the first hill of a roller coaster?
big ball sack
At which point will a roller coaster have the most stored energy?
at the bottom of the hill
3 What type of energy is gained as the roller coaster car goes up to the top of the first hill?
Potential energy is gained as the roller coaster car goes up to the top of the first hill. This type of energy is due to the car's height above the ground and its potential to do work as it moves downhill.
Can kinetic energy turn in to potential energy?
Yes, kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy, and vice versa. For example, when a roller coaster reaches the top of a hill, its kinetic energy (motion) is converted into potential energy (height). Conversely, when the roller coaster descends the hill, the potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy.
