Where is the kinetic energy the highest on a roller coaster?

The cars of a roller coaster reach their maximum kinetic energy when at the bottom of their path.


How is energy transferred from potential to kinetic on a roller coaster?

Energy is transferred from potential to kinetic on a roller coaster as the coaster descends from a higher elevation to a lower elevation. As the coaster moves downwards, gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. This energy transfer allows the coaster to gain speed and momentum.


What energy is in a roller coaster?

Potential energy is used when going up hill on a roller coaster. When it starts gong down the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.


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.

Would a corkscrew on a roller coaster be potential energy or kinetic?

A corkscrew on a roller coaster would have kinetic energy as it moves through the track, turning potential energy (stored energy due to its height) into kinetic energy (energy of motion).


Does the roller coaster need kinetic energy to move down the tracks?

Does a roller coaster have more potential energy at the top of the hill or at the bottom?

A roller coaster has more potential energy at the bottom. There are 2 types of energy, potential and kinetic. energy closer to a surface or floor is potential energy and objects in the middle of it all has kinetic energy.
