Why do roller coasters have loops and hills?
A roller coaster uses energy stored in the height of the cars. as the car falls lower, it picks up speed, as it gets higher, the speed falls away. With each loop and ramp, a little of the energy is lost due to friction and so the car will never be able to get back up to its original height. Therefore, the loops of the roller coaster will be built to be progressively lower throughout the ride, allowing the car to climb to the top of each ramp and still have enough kinetic energy to make it to the next downward slope.
Why does a traditional roller coaster ride begin by pulling you up a hill?
So they can have momentum for the rest of the ride. If there was no big hill, then you would constantly have to be pulled by the chains, and that's no fun. But if there is a big hill at the start of the ride, then you go down, down, down, and have enough of that speed/momentum that will keep you gliding along.
