Roller Coasters are gravity operated, fixed course, recreational vehicles. In order to operate, the string of cars must be lifted to the top of the first downgrade to begin the ride, and gravity does the rest from there. Getting the cars up to the top of the first rise is usually accomplished by the use of a moving "chain" or the like, and this is almost always driven by an electric motor. All the energy in the cars must be put in by the motor as transferred into them by the hoisting mechanism.
The cart thingy that you sit on is conected to the sides of the track of the roller coaster. First you go up the big hill then when you go down the hill you get a bunch of speed to help you go upside down fast and sometimes the have some electronics to help it go faster I think.
well it is because of the tracks and mostly about speed.
in most cases it's an electro magnet that pulls the train up the hill but if your talking about the second hill that is a change from potential to kinetic energy as it goes up the next hill
because the velocity from the previous hill will not give enough momentum for the roller coaster to clear the next hill.
A chain like on a bicycle.
Your face melts off
on a roller coaster what is the motor called that lifts you up on the first hill
it affects it by if like say for instance it goes up a hill the speed would slow down or if u went down a hill then it would go faster.
It is easier to see this using a traditional roller coaster model. Most traditional Roller Coasters start by using a tow cable to pull them up a large "hill". When being pulled up this hill, mechanical energy is being used to give the roller coaster potential energy. At the top of this hill, the roller coaster has it's maximum potential energy. As it starts to go down another hill, it picks up speed. During the descent it is losing potential energy but at the same time gaining kinetic energy. The coaster will then lose kinetic energy but gain potential energy as it goes up the next hill. This cycle of gaining/losing potential and kinetic energy is the conservation of energy that you are looking for. Of course in a real roller coaster, some energy will be lost due to friction. This will come off as heat in the rails and the wheels of the roller coaster and it's structure.
yes
In the Editor, select segment and click on Lift. Then return to the editor and create your own hill.
A chain.
How do engineers force a roller coaster to speed up
The Riddler's Revenge roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain is the fastest and tallest stand up roller coaster.
Gravity is pulling the coaster downwards, "what goes up must come down."
Potential energy is used when going up hill on a roller coaster. When it starts gong down the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Saddle up
Its not a roller coaster. You go on the studio tour and you go to amity and a divers pulled underwater. Then you move towards the dock and jaws pops up and squirts you with water.
