A roller coaster car is ultimately stopped by frictional energy, which transforms the car's kinetic energy into heat as it moves against the track and air resistance. Additionally, brakes may be applied to further reduce the car's speed and bring it to a complete stop. Gravitational potential energy also plays a role as the car descends, converting to kinetic energy and eventually dissipating through these forces.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of energy keeps the roller coaster down the hill?
Kinetic energy
What kind of energy happens when a roller coaster reaches the very top of the track just brfore it starts back down?
At the top of the track, the roller coaster has mostly potential energy due to its height above the ground. As it starts back down, this potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy as the coaster picks up speed.

Roller Coaster
If a roller coaster car is pulled by a chain at the beginning of the ride what kind of energy is present at this point?
The motor that drives the chain is being fuelled with electrical energy, which it converts into kinetic energy to move the chain. The chain supplies the rollercoaster carriage with kinetic energy and (hence why its harder to pull something up a slope) gravitational-potential energy. When the chain releases the carriage, and it speeds down the track, it converts its GPE into kinetic energy and thermal/sound wastes.
Do amusement parks use a special kind of wood for their wooden roller coasters?
No, they use pine. The strength of the roller coaster is not in the wood per se, but in the architecture.
What kind of energy does it take for loops on roller coasters to work?
Loops on roller coasters primarily rely on gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. As the coaster climbs to the top of a loop, it gains gravitational potential energy, which is converted to kinetic energy as it descends. The speed and momentum generated during the descent enable the coaster to maintain enough energy to successfully navigate the loop without falling off. Additionally, factors like friction and the design of the loop play roles in ensuring a smooth ride.
What kind of energy do roller coasters have and use?
potential energy
