When does a roller coaster increase kinetic energy?
The roller coaster increases kinetic energy when its velocity is increasing.
When do you feel lighter or heavier on a roller coaster?
-- You feel lighter on a roller coaster when your speed is either upward and decreasing or downward and increasing. -- You feel heavier when your speed is either upward and increasing or downward and decreasing. -- Exactly the same as on an elevator.
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
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.
On a Roller Coaster where is the potential energy?
When the roller coaster is at its highest position and is not moving then its potential energy is highest
Where is potential energy on a roller coaster?
When the roller coaster is at its highest position and is not moving then its potential energy is highest
Where is the kinetic energy the highest on a roller coaster?
The cars of a roller coaster reach their maximum kinetic energy when at the bottom of their path.
Is a roller coaster the only example of a closed energy system?
No, the roller coaster is not the only example of a closed energy system.
How does energy usage of a model roller coaster compare to energy usage of a real roller coaster?
The model uses less energy than the real one does.
Where is potential energy the highest on a roller coaster?
When the roller coaster is at its highest position and is not moving then its potential energy is highest
How much mechanical energy is at the top of a roller coaster?
It depends on the roller coaster's height,speed,and location. :p
What energy is in a roller coaster?
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.
