Longest roller coaster in Asia?
The longest roller coaster in Asia is The Year of the Dragon. It has an 8,133 foot long track and is the longest coaster in the world.
Can a roller coaster go off track?
Yes they can
What is the relationship between the normal force and the bottom of a loop in a roller coaster track?
The normal force at the bottom of a loop in a roller coaster track is greater than the force of gravity in order to keep the riders from falling off the track. This is because the normal force provides the necessary centripetal force to keep the riders moving in a circular path.
Which example describes an increase in potential energy bike going down hill a basketball falling through a net a roller-coaster moving down a track a paint can being carried up a ladder?
A roller-coaster moving down a track depicts an increase in potential energy. As the roller-coaster descends, it gains potential energy due to its height above the ground, which is converted to kinetic energy as it accelerates downwards.
How can a roller coaster move along a track when it has no motor?
Gravity.
What propels a roller coaster down a track?
It probably is because of the engine the pulls the coaster to the top
Does a roller coaster have more potential energy at the top of the hill or at the bottom?
A roller coaster has more potential energy at the bottom. There are 2 types of energy, potential and kinetic. energy closer to a surface or floor is potential energy and objects in the middle of it all has kinetic energy.
When did the Fujiyama roller coaster open?
The Fujiyama roller coaster opened in 1996. It was rated as one of the top 50 steel roller coasters in 2009. It has over a mile of track and is highly rated.
What is the role of the normal force at the top of a loop in a roller coaster?
The normal force at the top of a loop in a roller coaster is responsible for providing the necessary centripetal force to keep the riders moving in a circular path without falling off the track. It acts perpendicular to the surface of the track to counteract the force of gravity and ensure the riders stay safely in their seats.
What exactly is Universal Studios Dueling Dragons?
A duel track roller coaster.
Why was the first roller coaster built?
To build potential energy, which is converted to kinetic energy upon descent. The higher up the roller coaster climbs, the more potential energy it builds, thus having more kinetic energy upon descent. Since there are no motors or engines, roller coasters are reliant on this back & forth transfer of energy.
Why must curved roller coaster tracks on a roller coaster be banked?
Previous Answer => "Because of the law of inertia."Improved Answer => Well, yes I suppose, but it is not necessary based on that fact.Since roller coasters have a special three-wheel design that keeps coaster trains on the track NO MATTER WHAT, banking doesn't "keep the ride on the tracks". If anything, banking keeps the coaster safe (in terms of G's) and comfortable to actually be enjoyed versus being painful. A coaster and it's riders will follow the track no matter what, since again of the three-wheel design patented by John Miller in the 1920's AND the restraints on rides that keep people in. It is the G's that concern designers, not if the train will fall off.
