Actually it is. The first law of thermodynamics tells us that you have to put energy into the roller coaster (in this case in the form of work) to get it to the top of the first hill; getting it to the top increases its potential energy. Once it starts moving down, most of that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as it moves around the track. Over the course of its circuit of the track, energy is continuously converted back and forth between potential and kinetic energy - with some energy also being converted to heat through friction with the rails and with the air. Energy is conserved - thus we see the first law obeyed.

How does newtons third law relate to a roller coaster?
Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. Since a roller coaster is on a ramp, the ramp has to support the (apparently larger) weight of the roller coaster, especially when it turns it back up against gravity at the bottom of each incline. The rollers on each car also prevent the cars from leaving the track on turns, by exerting a controlling force using the sides and upper half of the track.
How does Newton's Third Law relate to a rollercoaster?
Newton's second law (Force equals mass times acceleration, F = ma) deals with acceleration so it "takes effect" every time that the roller coaster speeds up, slows down or turns (horizontally or vertically).Basically Newton's second law just says that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Or, in other words, the harder you push the faster it speeds up and the bigger it is the slower it speeds up (or slows down - deceleration is an acceleration).This means that in your roller coaster example, the object is the roller coaster and the force can be: The motors that start the coaster and lift it up hills. The brakes that slow it down. Gravity which pulls it down the hills. The rails and wheels which cause the roller coaster to turn around bends, etc. At each of these points, Newton's second law is at play, determining how much acceleration will result from the force applied to the roller coaster's mass.
Which of newton's laws would allow a passanger to fly right out of his seat if he did not have a lap belt over him and the roller coaster suddenly stopped?
A body in motion tends to stay in motion.Newton's First LawOr
What are variables for the first law of thermodynamics?
the internal energy (thermal energy)
Is a roller coaster an example of newtons third law?
Not really. Newtons laws basically are: 1. an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by a force 2. force equals mass times acceleration 3. every reaction has an equal and opposite reaction Roller coasters are, however, a good example of conservation of energy.
Examples of the first law of motion?
kinda like a roller coaster going up or down
What is another name for the first law of Thermodynamics?
The first law of thermodynamics is also known as the Law of Energy Conservation.

What law of thermodynamics states that different forms of energy can be converted into one another?
That's related to the First Law of Thermodynamics - the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Which law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?
That law is known as the Law of Conservation of Energy. It is also known as the First Law of Thermodynamics.
When the law of conversation of energy is applied to heat it is known as the law of thermodynamics?
Not exactly. The first law of thermodynamics, i.e. the law of conservation of energy, also accounts for heat as one of the many forms that energy can take. There is no one law called "the law of thermodynamics", but there are several "Laws of Thermodynamics" (note the plural form "LAWS").
What law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created or destroyed?
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system; it can only change forms. This law is also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation?
The 1st Law of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation of energy.
What is another name for the first law?
Another name for the first law of thermodynamics is the law of energy conservation.

What is universal law of energy?
There is no commonly accepted law by that name, as far as I know. Two important laws about energy are the First Law of Thermodynamics and the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
