What else can I help you with?
Is roller coaster an example of gravity?
the gravity will pull the roller coaster down a little bit and then it might go a little slower.
What makes a roller coaster go?
electricity and gravity
What forces stop a roller coaster?
Gravity and Friction
What happens to a roller coaster if there is no gravity?
It would not move
How can a roller coaster move along a track when it has no motor?
Gravity.
What is the force that pulls the cars downward on a roller coaster?
Gravity
When does a roller coaster increase kinetic energy?
A roller coaster increases kinetic energy when it is going downhill, as gravity is pulling it down and accelerating it. The potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the roller coaster gains speed.
What was the name of the first roller coaster?
Gravity Pleasure Switchback Railway
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.
Which two theories would be useful in designing a roller coaster?
gravity and momentum
What types of energy work on a roller coaster?
the two forces are friction and gravity
What does G's mean on a roller coaster?
G means effective gravity caused by the velocity (acceleration and direction of travel) induced upon a body. In the case of a roller coaster the person is the body. 1 G is the effects of gravity regularly. If a roller coaster pulls 2 G this means the effect of gravity is twice the normal and therefore will react by causing the body to be weigh more (weight = mass x gravity)
