Where is potential energy the highest on a roller coaster?
The potential energy is highest at the top of the first hill or peak of the roller coaster because it is at its maximum height above the ground. As the roller coaster descends, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the car gains speed.
How are potential energy and kinetic energy transferred on the first hill of a roller coaster?
At the top of the first hill, PE is at its maximum, whereas KE is zero. When the train starts to fall down the first hill, PE decreases and KE increases. At the bottom of the hill, KE is at its maximum, and PE is zero.
Where does a roller coaster have the lowest amount of kinetic energy?
at the top of the first hill, just before the first drop
What kind of energy keeps the roller coaster down the hill?
Kinetic energy
3 What type of energy is gained as the roller coaster car goes up to the top of the first hill?
Potential energy is gained as the roller coaster car goes up to the top of the first hill. This type of energy is due to the car's height above the ground and its potential to do work as it moves downhill.
What type of energy is slowly increasing as you are climbing to the top of the first hill on a roller coaster?
it would be the energy that is slowly increasing
Where is potential energy the highest on a roller coaster?
The potential energy is highest at the top of the first hill or peak of the roller coaster because it is at its maximum height above the ground. As the roller coaster descends, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the car gains speed.
A rollar coaster stop at the top of the hill What can you infer about its kinetic energy?
The roller coaster does not have kinetic energy at the top of the hill
How are potential energy and kinetic energy transferred on the first hill of a roller coaster?
At the top of the first hill, PE is at its maximum, whereas KE is zero. When the train starts to fall down the first hill, PE decreases and KE increases. At the bottom of the hill, KE is at its maximum, and PE is zero.
What is the motor called that lifts you up the first hill on a roller coaster?
on a roller coaster what is the motor called that lifts you up on the first hill
Which type of energy do you think always have at the top of the first hill on a roller coaster?
there would be plenty of potential energy
Where does a roller coaster have the lowest amount of kinetic energy?
at the top of the first hill, just before the first drop
In energy transformations when a roller coaster is at the top of the hill the kinetic energy is?
Kinetic energy comes from movement. If the roller coaster is moving at the top of the hill, it has kinetic energy. if the rollercoaster isn't moving then it has potential energy.
What kind of energy keeps the roller coaster down the hill?
Kinetic energy
Why is the first hill of a roller coaster always the highest?
When you see a roller coaster you have probably noticed that the first hill of the roller is always the highest unless it has given potential energy. Potential energy is force or stored energy. This is happens because not all potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
What is usually the highest point on a roller coaster?
The top of the first hill. This is where the coaster has its greatest amount of potential energy which is converted to kinetic energy as it moves along the track.
At which point will a roller coaster have the most stored energy?
at the bottom of the hill
