How can roller coasters use fossil fuels?

Most, if not all, roller coasters are powered by electricity. Most electricity is still being generated by burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). As this burning emits carbon dioxide you can clearly say that roller coasters are contributing to global warming by using fossil fuels.


Why do people use magnets in roller coasters?

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.


How do Roller Coasters start at the beginning of the ride?

When the roller coaster is at the peak then the potential energy will be at it's max and as the roller coaster goes downhill then the potential energy will decrease and the kinetic energy will increase.


How do roller coasters go so 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.
