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.

What are the forces involved in roller coasters?

The g force is maximum when the change in the car's velocity is maximum (Newton's 2nd law of motion). If the track has a loop at the bottom of a long slide, the maximum g force occurs when the car is speeding inside the loop. When the car's gravity is also considered, the car will experience max g at the top of the loop.

Why is kinetic energy important in roller coasters?

Potential energy is what make the coasters go down and flip and go fast and does all that wacky stuff. The potential energy builds as you go up on a hill the first time. It's potential energy all the way until you drop. From there it's all just kinetic energy. Without all the potential energy the coaster wouldn't even go anywhere.

Can you go on a roller coaster ride after getting stitches on your belly?

Infections, side effects and healing issues are all points you need to discuss with your professional body piercer BEFORE you get the piercing done. You also need to discuss aftercare for the piercing, this should be followed up with written aftercare instructions for your piercing. No professional body piercer will force you to purchase aftercare products, this is a purchase that is up to you and they can only recommend specific products but they can force you to buy what they have.

Listen to what you are told and follow the aftercare to the letter and remember if you are having issues with bumps and lumps or discharge go back to the shop that did the piercing and talk to the piercer. They must help you resolve any healing issues you may be having. Don't solicit advice from anyone who is not a professional body piercer, just because one thing worked for someone else doesn't mean it will work for you. Healing issues need to be looked at first hand so the problem can be recognised and resolved, the Internet is just a guessing game.
