Thermal energy plays a role in a roller coaster primarily through the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy as the coaster descends. When the coaster climbs to the highest point, gravitational potential energy is at its maximum, and as it descends, this energy converts to kinetic energy, increasing speed. Additionally, friction between the coaster and the tracks generates thermal energy, which can slightly reduce the overall energy efficiency of the ride. This heat can also affect the materials of the coaster over time, influencing maintenance and safety considerations.

How do roller coasters go so fast?

Roller coasters go fast because they use gravity to their advantage. Because the cars weigh a lot, they fall at very high speeds from high in the air. Some of the new roller coasters being built also are propelled forward using the force created by high powered magnets.

What are the rules to Rollors lawn game?

Beginners Basic Game - 2 PlayersSet-UpPosition the red and blue goals approximately 25 feet apart on a level terrainPlayEach player uses one color set of rollers in the first round of play, blue goes first. Standing behind the red goal the blue player rolls one rollor at a time to the other goal. The rollor should be rolled on the edge, with a wind-up and release as in bowling. The rollor must touch the ground with in 4 feet of the release. Once the blue player has played the red player takes a turn.Safety Notes:Throwing the rollor is NOT allowed.Throwing the rollor like a Frisbee is NOT allowed.ScoringOnly one player scores each round and that is the player with the rollor that is closest to the goal. The measuring cord should assist in determining which player is closest. In the case of a tie neither player scores. All rollers of the closest scoring color to the goal receive points.In order to score, a rollor must fall entirely within a 5 foot radius of the center of the goal. A measuring cord is provided to measure this requirement. Points are given as follows:1.) Rollors that land on their side - score a point value equal to the number that is showing.2.) Rollers that stop on the edge - score a point value equal to the sum of both sides.3.) Rollers that come to rest against the goal - score a point value of double the number showing.GamePlay continues with rounds that are started by the last color that has scored, rolling back and forth between goals. To win, a player must achieve a total of 21 points or more, and must have two more points than the opponent.Basic Game - 4 PlayersSet-UpSame as the 2 player gamePlayEach team, consisting of two players each, uses one set of rollers. One member of each team is positioned at each goal and rolls to the other. Turns are taken in the same manner as in horseshoes. Playing and scoring is the same as in 2 player basic game.Basic Game - 6 PlayersSet-UpSame as the 2 player gamePlayEach team consisting of three players each uses one set of rollors. Play is the same as in the two player game, except that each member of a team rolls one rollor per turn. Scoring is the same as the two player basic game.Children's GameA children's version can be played the same as the beginner's games except goals would be set up 15 to 20 feet apart and ALL rollors landing within a five foot radius would score.Intermediate and Advanced PlayMore challenging versions can be played by lengthening the distance between goals for intermediate and counting rollors that fall within a three foot radius for advanced play. Or add a challenge by setting up goals on terrain that is not level. Or add obstructions in the middle of the two goals (i.e. trees, stumps, bushes, etc.)Set-UpSame as the 2 player gamePlayEach team, consisting of two players each, uses one set of rollers. One member of each team is positioned at each goal and rolls to the other. Turns are taken in the same manner as the horse shoe throwing. Playing and scoring is the same as in 2 player basic game.

Why do people go ice skating?

Ice skating is fun for many reasons. Not only is it a good work out, but the feeling of gently gliding over the ice is one that many people would love the most. When you do a jump and land it you instantly feel excited and want to do it again! Ice skating is fun because its just another way to express yourself. its a way to get your mind off of the things that trouble you. Also, what I find most fun about ice skating is preforming in ice shows. People all over the stands yell with excitement and cheer you on!! when your done with a show you feel happy and accomplished and you get lots of complements! Receiving metals and trophies is also another reason why I really enjoy ice skating and that's why it is fun for me. While your in figure skating you also get to wear very beautiful dresses!

2000 Chevy venture sliding door passenger side how do you change the double roller bearing on the door just under the glass seems to be a whole piece with two roller bearing hooked to a L shaped medal?

I have a problem with that double roller bearing assembly. To get to the assembly you need to take off the long peice of plastic that looks like it is apart of the rear quarter panel. its the long thin piece running front to back in front of the channel that the door slides along. to take off that piece you need a small stubby Phillips at the front of the van. the easiest way to reach it is to open the door all the way and unscrew it. The back of the piece is fastened behind the rear passanger tail light, so you need to remove the tail light. i think both the tail light and the back of the peice both use the T-30 bit. after all that is accomplished, the best way to get to the rollor assembly is to remove the door pin that attached to door to the double roller assembly. there is a locking washer that pops of the bottom, and then you pop the pin through to top of assembly. once you have the pin loose the door is very unstable so you need something to prop up the door. I closed the door as much as possible and prop the back end up with my toolbox. once that is accomplished you can slide out the whole assembly very easily. on both side of the double roller assembly is the metal strand cord. if you need to remove those. there is one piece of metal that folds up to hold it in place. if you take it out it takes some work to get it back. its is under a lot of tension. hope this helps you alot. I am looking to buy a new double roller assembly because mine is broken. if you have any questions you can email me at Nilrem54@att.net.
