It provides undesired slowing of the coaster on its path but it is essential for the brakes to stop it at the station.

And Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

What types of energy work on a roller coaster?
the two forces are friction and gravity
What forces stop a roller coaster?
Gravity and Friction
What is the friction of Kingda ka roller coaster?
liquid
Where is static friction in roller coaster?
yes; wherever the coaster touches the tracks there is static friction pressing against it and it pressing against the tracks, thus keeping it from flying off.
Where does a roller coaster have the most negative friction?
Upside down.
What is Thermal energy relating to a roller coaster?
Thermal energy is heat. Heat is associated with motion (like a roller coaster) because of friction. Friction slows down the speed of an object and changes some of its kinetic energy into heat.
What is a wooden roller coaster?
a roller coaster that's made from wood of course duhhhhhhh..... sike naw im just kidding a wooden roller coaster conducts more heat than a steel roller coaster because it has more rough edges and that creates more friction and that makes heat. o a wooden roller coaster conductes more heat than a steel roller coaster does.
How much friction do roller coasters have?
Friction, slows the roller coaster down to a slow enough pace that it eventually stops.
When there is friction on a roller coaster some of the potential energy is not converted into?
Kinetic Energy.
What is the type of friction on a curve of a roller coaster?
Kinetic or centrifugal, depening what phase you are on.
How many wheels does a roller coaster have?
A roller coaster has 6 wheels, the front wheel, the friction wheel, the side wheel, the drag wheel, the liniod wheel, and the break wheel.
What forces are acting on a roller coaster in motion?
centripital motion, gravity, friction, ect.
