Roller Coasters

A famous amusement ride, the roller coaster is an elevated railway usually with steep inclines and sharp curves, including one or more vertical loops. Patented by LaMarcus Adna Thompson, the first underfriction roller coaster was developed in 1919.

Vortex at Kings Island?

The Vortex opened in 1987 and was the first roller coaster in the world with six inversions.

The first hill will lift you 12 stories into the sky. And that's just the beginning. You'll be rocketed along 3,800 feet of track at speeds exceeding 55 miles per hour through two vertical loops, one corkscrew, one boomerang turn, and a 360-degree helix. All in all, Vortex will turn you head-over-heels upside-down a grand total of six times!

What is the scariest roller coaster in CA?

That can't be measured. But X2 and Goliath at Six flags Magic Mountain are considered pretty scary.

Why does a roller coaster with more people in it will travel much faster than an empty car?

A roller-coaster would go faster with more people in it because with moer people the better the ride alsothe people that are ridding will give the roller-coaster potential energy. A roller-coaster would go slower with an empty car will give the roller-coaster kinetic energy than with peolpe in it.

What are 3 ways a roller coaster can accelerate?

A roller coaster can accelerate using an electromagnetic field or linear motor.

Another way for a roller coaster to accelerate is by using a hydraulic launch method. using cables to catapult the ride forward.

Why don't wooden roller coasters have inversions?

Wood does bend to form the loop. One wooden coaster used to they used steel for the loop.

^ that answer is really terrible and doesn't make sense....-.- they asked about INVERSIONS not one loop. there is a big difference between some simple loop and an inversion.

Why do roller coasters use energy?

Any friction is due to the:

1, Area of contact.

2. Type of material

3. Force applied.

In any roller friction the area of contact is minimized by the rollers however with high velocity the force of gravity exerts on the wheels to generate friction.When the coasters come down from the hill sections the friction is maximum as the opposing gravity forces acts on the moving kinetic force.

How many roller coasters does Disney World have?

The Magic Kingdom has two roller coasters, Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Animal Kingdom has two, Expedition Everest and the Primeval Whirl.

Hollywood Studios has one, Rock 'n Roller Coaster.

How is math used in roller coasters?

Math is used to calculate friction, speed, forces exerted on the supports, where the supports should go, the shape of the track, how the track should be banked in response to forces, etc. If you want to design coasters, algebraic geometry, trig, and calculus courses are a must.

How do you make kingda ka on rct2?

First you select strata-coaster in the rides menu. Then you make a station. Next you make alot of straight pieces. Then you go straight up. go up some pieces then make one right turn. After that flatten it out and go straight down. Now make three right turns. Go down but not all the way. Then flatten out and go up a gentle slope. go down and put some brakes down. last make two right back into the station.

How do breaks work on an roller coaster?

The brakes are basically 2 pieces of steel and then they close together to a certain thickness. There is also a fin on the bottom of the car which, when it tries to pass through that thin brake, it slows down or even stops the car.

How many roller coasters at Busch Gardens go upside down?

Which Busch Gardens?

At the one in Williamsburg, there are three coasters that go upside down: Griffon, Loch Ness Monster, and Alpengeist.

At the one in Tampa, there are five: Cheetah Hunt, SheiKra, Kumba, Montu, and Scorpion.

How much money would a roller coaster get?

To be a successful major company like B&m or S&S arrow, you will need to invest a load into your company. Perhaps millions. You will also need a very good education and experience with that.

So good luck ahaha.

Can a roller coaster ride harm your baby if your 7months pregnant?

This far along you should not do anything that can make you fall of any kind and if you start to feel sick they will not be stopping that ride. So avoid.

Where on a roller coaster is there equal amounts of potential energy and kinetic energy?

There would be equal amounts of kinetic and potential energy at the middle of a drop, because the potential energy would have lost half of it's amount and the kinetic energy would have gained that amount but none else so far.

Pretty sure thats all right, 🖒

Can you ride roller coasters with a broken bone?

You can but dont let the people that do the rollercoaster rides know that your toe is broke because they might not let you ride , its all about chance if you want to take the chance of getting jerked by the roller coaster and hiting your toe on the rollercoaster floor or your other foot and reinjuring it then go ahead there no guarantee that you will or will not hurt yourself!

How does mass effect roller coasters?

it doesnt the gp and kinetic enrgy work together and if the equation shows mgh=(1/2mv2) mgh is one m mv2 is ther 2nd m they equal so take two ms out nd it doesnt effect the speed

Discuss the design of the roller coaster shown in the sketch in terms of the conservation of energy.?

The design is impractical. Note that the summit of each hill on the roller coaster is the same height, so the PE of the car at the top of each hill would be the same. If no energy were spent in overcoming friction, the car would get to the second summit with as much energy as it starts with. But in practice, there is considerable friction, and the car would not roll to its initial height and have the same energy. So the maximum height of succeeding summits should be lower to compensate for friction.
