What type of energy does a roller coaster have at the top of the hill?

potential energy because it is storing and building all its power then when it is released it becomes kinetic energy (potential energy wasting)

What type of energy is slowly increasing as you are climbing to the top of the first hill on a roller coaster?
it would be the energy that is slowly increasing
Which type of energy do you think always have at the top of the first hill on a roller coaster?
there would be plenty of potential energy
3 What type of energy is gained as the roller coaster car goes up to the top of the first hill?
It is gravitational potential energy.
A roller coaster going down the first hill is an example of what type of energy?
It is kinetic energy because it is in motion.Jesus loves you! A car rolling down a hill is an example of which type of energy?kinetic...Potential energy
What type of energy roller coaster use?
kinetic
What does a roller coaster do?
Well, to understand what a roller coaster does you will need to understand what a roller coaster is. A roller coaster is a small vehicle that runs along a fixed track. What a roller coaster does is move along that fixed track at very high speeds, and many people find this very thrilling And if your wondering how a roller coaster works Well, there are 2 types of roller coaster, most commonly the Chain Lift, The chain lift works by hooks on the bottom of the roller coaster car that hook on to a roller chain (the type of chain you would find on a bicycle) and the chain pulls you all the way to the top of the big hill, This is the part where you hear all the clicking. As you start going down the big hill the hooks simply slide out of the chain and gravity starts to take over, but the roller coaster can stay moving because of Kinetic energy and Potential energy. So the 3 things that are very important to a Roller Coaster are Kinetic energy, Potential energy, and gravity. A roller coaster works sort of like rolling a ball down a hill. For info on the launched roller coaster check out the related links.
Where does a roller coaster get its energy from?
It depends on which type of roller coaster. Some of then use a magnet to get their speed. Other use a pressure, or they just let gravity do all the work.
What type of roller coaster is the saw?
If you are talking about Saw the roller coaster, then it is a Gerstlauer Eurofighter.
If a roller coaster has 100 joules of energy at the top of the first hill how much energy will it have at the bottom?
100. The amount of energy a roller coaster has is maintained throughout the whole journey. Its the conservation of energy - energy can' t be created or destroyed it can only be transferred. It therefore depends what type of energy you mean in the question. It can have a total of 100 joules meaning yes, anywhere on the roller coaster it will remain as 100 joules however if your saying 100 joules of gravitational potential energy at the top by the bottom of the hill it will have decreased and have been converted into at least 80 joules of kinetic energy leaving 20 joules as gravitational potential energy. Sorry for the poor grammar; just focus on the science. I have an exam on this in two weeks...
Maintenance costs of a roller coaster?
It can be over $9000 annually, depending on the type and size of the roller coaster.
How many screws nuts or bolts are in a roller coaster?
It would depend on the size and type of roller coaster.
How many rides does one roller coaster give a day?
It depends on the type of, speed of and distance of the roller coaster.
