What type of motion is a roller coaster?
Roller coasters are variable motion. Something that has variable motion when they have different distances and speeds in an equal period of time. Going uphill, roller coasters are sort of slow but going downhill, the roller coaster starts to accelerate. The roller coaster takes the same track every time and only goes through it once so, it has equal time periods. By traveling at 2 different speeds during equal time periods, you have variable motion.
Can a roller coaster go 100 miles per hour?
Yes a roller coaster can go faster than 100mph. The fastest is the Formula Rossa Roller Coaster which reaches speeds of 149mph.
Why is a roller coaster variable motion?
Something that has variable motion travels different distances/ speed in equal periods of time. Going uphill, roller coasters are sort of slow but going downhill, the roller coaster starts to accelerate. The roller coaster takes the same track every time and only goes through it once so, it has equal time periods. By traveling at 2 different speeds during equal time periods, you have variable motion.
What forces are acting on a roller coaster in motion?
centripital motion, gravity, friction, ect.
What types of motion does the rider experience during the roller coaster ride?
it's periodic motion.
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.
How many people can ride on a roller coaster?
That depends on the roller coaster. Different roller coasters hold different amounts of people and are not all the same. Normally the capacity of a roller coaster is around 1,500 - 2,000 riders per hour.

What is lateral motion and how does it relate to roller coasters?

What kind of energy happens when a roller coaster reaches the very top of the track just brfore it starts back down?
At that point the roller coaster car has maximum potential energy and zero kinetic energy.
