Upward motion on a roller coaster converts kinetic energy into potential energy. Downward motion converts potential energy into kinetic energy. Forward motion is a result of excess potential enegy converted into kinetic energy that cannot be expended while falling.

The ability to work is called?
Energy. Potential energy is like stored energy: ready-to go. (a cart at the top of a roller coaster hill has a lot of potential energy) Kinetic energy is moving energy: in-motion. (when that cart goes speeding down the hill)
Kinetic energy is the energy of?
Motion.
Energy in the form of motion?
The energy of motion is called kinetic energy.
What is the theory of realitivity?
There are actually two theories of relativity, the special theory and the general theory. In the special theory (1905) Einstein showed the relationship between energy, motion and mass. In the General theory (1912) he showed the relationship between acceleration, Time and gravity.
What Examples of technologies that operate law of motion?
There are several real-life examples that operate with Newton's law of motion. They include a roller coaster, a car crash, and a conveyor belt.
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 is kiinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion or path of movement, e.g. roller coaster.
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 is the relationship between motion and energy?
The basic relationship for kinetic energy of a body is KE = ½ m v2. If the mass is in kg and the speed in metres/sec, the answer for the KE is in Joules.
What is the relationship between Issac Newtons first law of motion and gravitational potential energy?
No Gravitational potential energy equals no force and thus no acceleration.
What is the relationship between forces and energy?
Energy is the ability to do work. Force is something that changes motion.
Where does the friction oppose motion on a roller coaster car?
between the wheels of the car and the track
What is the relationship between the temperature of and object and the motion of it's particles?
The faster the particles move- then the more energy they have, then the warmer the object will be.
What is the relationship of potential energy to kinetic energy when an object is in motion?
velocity squared
How is kinetic energy used in building a roller coaster?
kentic energy is the motion that is used while building the roller coaster.Hard work sweat and tears.
What is the relationship between kinetic energy of molecules and their physical state?
The relationship between kinetic energy of molecules and their physical state is simple. The higher the kinetic energy the faster the molecules move. The fastest moving molecules are gaseous and the slowest moving molecules are solids.
What is dynamic cart?
It is used to demonstrate the relationship between the motion and cause of motion.
