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.

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.

When a roller coaster moves along the track the opposing force is called?

When a roller coaster moves along the track, the opposing force is primarily called friction. This friction occurs between the roller coaster wheels and the track, as well as air resistance acting against the coaster’s motion. These forces work to slow down the coaster as it travels along the ride, impacting its speed and overall performance.
