Roller Coasters

you might want to use knex if you want to build a model rollercoaster. the kits usually range from 40 to 50 dollars

Roller coasters are gravity operated, fixed course, recreational vehicles. In order to operate, the string of cars must be lifted to the top of the first downgrade to begin the ride, and gravity does the rest from there. Getting the cars up to the top of the first rise is usually accomplished by the use of a moving "chain" or the like, and this is almost always driven by an electric motor. All the energy in the cars must be put in by the motor as transferred into them by the hoisting mechanism.

The Top Thrill Dragsters Speed is measured at 120mph.

it goes about an average of 120mph and its highest point is 420 feet high along with a 400 ft drop I really want to go on it.

A slow rollercoaster doesn't batter the senses or induce fear in it's riders near as much as a fast one. When going up the hill, gaining potential energy, you are going slower and gaining fear (you can see what's about to happen.) When you are going down the hill, gaining kinetic energy, you have an emotional release as you safely reach the next hill and calm down about the ride. At the same time the kinetic and potential energy curves are 180o to each other. When the velocity is high, the potential energy is low. When it's low, potential energy goes up.

The Tallest roller coaster is Kingda ka at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson New Jersey. Steel Dragon 2000 is the longest roller coaster. But i woulent count on riding that unlees you have a trip to japan planned.

I would not recommend riding a roller coaster. The force of a roller coaster is almost the same as the one that astronauts experience on a rocket. Plus you will probably squish your belly in the safety seat or you may not be able to pull it down far enough to be safe. A merry-go-round or a Ferris wheel are safe to ride on.

Approximately 25 years
I would say that it depends on the rolercoaster you ride in. There are many rollercoasters that have the same period of time, but you have to specify the rollercoaster you want to know. The time that a rollercoaster would last is about 10 to 15 minutes. Maybe even 5 to 10 minutes. It depends on the rollercoaster.

Is this a real question? If you know your pregnant then you shouldn't be doing anything like that.

Well it depends on what rollarcoaster it is. like if it isnt high and dosent go fast and not upsidown, it should be ok, but it is all down to you because if anything happend to the baby it would be your fault. Also i wouldent reccomend it, sorry but if anything happend your killing your own baby .

hope this helps

Thermal energy is heat. Heat is associated with motion (like a roller coaster) because of friction. Friction slows down the speed of an object and changes some of its kinetic energy into heat.

Roller coasters often have loops and turns that make their final displacement different than their final distance. But, if the roller-coaster is a loop, the displacement will obviously be 0. If the displacement is not 0, it is measured in meters.

There are around 3000-3500 roller coaster accidents each year which would include back injuries and neck injuries, there are on average 3 deaths per year from roller coasters.

you have too be 60 inchs too ride the ferrari roller coaster

#1 - Formula Rossa - Ferrari World - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. 149.1mph (240.0kph)

#2 - Kingda Ka - Six Flags Great Adventure - Jackson Township, New Jersey, USA. 128.0mph (206kph)

#3 - Top Thrill Dragster - Cedar Point - Sandusky, Ohio, USA. 120.0mph (190kph)

The roller coaster at Circus Circus is a double corkscrew, double loop ride, set indoors.

Electrical power is typically used to get the train up to the top of the lift hill. After it reaches the top, gravity takes over.

Roller Coasters utilize Diesel only in the event of a power loss. Most modern day coasters use electrical power to compress air to power the brakes and emergency mechanisms.

United States

The Incredible Hulk roller coaster goes up-side down 4 times last for up to 7 seconds each time.

It's possible. It's not recommended that you ride roller coasters while pregnant. All the physical instability from a roller coaster could potentiomally damage the fetus.

My son just rode what used to be called the Dueling dragons now called Dragon Challenge ( they changed it to be Harry Potter themed. He is 8 years old, he is 5'3.

78 mph

That depends on the roller coaster. Different roller coasters hold different amounts of people and are not all the same. Normally the capacity of a roller coaster is around 1,500 - 2,000 riders per hour.

Actually, barley. FACT: Roller coasters are safer than crossing the street. Think about it ? How many news reports do you hear about people being hit by cars? @ the most once a month (way more). How many news reports do you hear about people dying, falling off, or being hurt on roller coasters? none I'VE heard ever. See the difference? So a fact is roller coasters are very safe.

yes it is very safe! i've been on it 7 times and have personally watched over 130 cars!you have a seatbelt, a harness, and a little extra! trust me! its so fun and you wont regret it

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.
