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 are some conservation of energy practice problems with answers that can help me understand the concept better?
One conservation of energy practice problem involves a roller coaster at the top of a hill. If the roller coaster has a potential energy of 1000 J at the top of the hill and a kinetic energy of 200 J at the bottom, what is the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster system? To solve this problem, you can use the conservation of energy principle, which states that the total mechanical energy of a system remains constant if only conservative forces are acting on it. In this case, the roller coaster system only experiences gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. At the top of the hill, the roller coaster has 1000 J of potential energy. At the bottom, it has 200 J of kinetic energy. Therefore, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster system is: Total mechanical energy Potential energy Kinetic energy Total mechanical energy 1000 J 200 J Total mechanical energy 1200 J So, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster system is 1200 J. This practice problem helps illustrate how energy is conserved in a system and how potential and kinetic energy are related.

Can you go into space on roller coaster tycoon 3?
Yes you have to use the cheat for no limits on roller coaster height and then build your roller coaster extremely high (it will take ages) then ride it and you leave earth eventually.
What type of energy does roller coasters use?
kinetic
How do you calculate the kinetic energy on different points of a roller coaster?
To calculate the kinetic energy (KE) at different points of a roller coaster, use the formula KE = 0.5 * m * v², where m is the mass of the roller coaster car and v is its velocity at that point. As the coaster moves, potential energy (PE) is converted into kinetic energy, so at the highest points, KE is lower due to greater PE, and at the lowest points, KE is higher as PE decreases. You can also apply the conservation of energy principle, where the total mechanical energy (PE + KE) remains constant, assuming negligible friction.
How can energy change from potential to kinetic use a roller coaster car as an example?
In the case of a roller coaster car, gravity itself is the basis of both potential and kinetic, the difference being that if something obstructs or controls the rate at which gravity can act to draw an object or body toward the ground then that something would be conserving potential energy. If gravity were allowed to act on the roller coaster car unimpeded then the car would be drawn straight to the ground so the relationship between potential and kinetic energy for a roller coaster is a directly proportional relationship between the distance between the track and the ground, where the slope of the track and initial speed of the roller coaster car form the initial input of energy; potential in the form of distance from the ground and kinetic in the form of velocity.
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.
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.
