Where does a roller coaster have the least kinetic energy?
At the tallest point on the track. Potential energy is given by U(Which is potential energy) = mass times height time gravitational constant. You can't change the gravitational constant, or the mass of the roller coaster car. So you have to change the height.
PE=mgh so more the height and the mass the more PE

What is the religious roller coaster?
The Religious Roller Coaster started at the time of which Henry VIII ruled. He started as a catholic, then became a protestant. As king, he introduced bibles in English rather than in latin, and made himself the head of the church. He did not change any services.
His only son, Edward VI, was an even stronger protestant and introduced a new prayer book. He made all church services English, allowed priests to marry and destroyed all church decoration.
Henry's daughter, Mary (of Catherine of Aragon), was strongly Catholic. She made the Pope head of church again, changed church services back to latin, priests were not allowed to marry and she had all protestants persecuted.
Henry's other daughter, Elizabeth I (of Anne Boleyn), tried to find a balance in this religious rollercoaster. To please protestants, she changed church services back to English and allowed priests to marry. To please any catholics, she titled herself 'Governer' of the church rather than 'Head' and introduced a new prayer book.
As you can see, it is called The Religious Rollercoaster because it went from Protestant, to strong Protestant, then back to strong Catholic, and then made even by Elizabeth I. Rules were changed regularly, after each of Henry VIII's children reigned. They all had different beliefs.

What is air-time on roller coasters?
Long answer-When the G-forces are lower than +1.0. The sensation of butterflies in your stomach is basically the effects of Gs lower than +1.0, it literally forces your intestines upwards. Negative force can be very dangerous because it forces blood to the brain, rarely will a coaster ever have less than -1.5 Gs.
Short answer-When your booty leaves the seat.

How does a roller coaster use physics?
it doesn't but it depends on the model and make of the coaster a B & M coaster isn't at all affected by momentum because it gains momentum at the top of the left hill or launch tube. and the rest of the ride as they say is cake. take the hulk coaster at IOA it's not affected by the momentum and neither is the Kraken.

What three forces drive a roller coaster?
A 3 wheel locking system, it works by one wheel on top of the rail, one wheel on the side, this wheel helps it go around curves, and 1 wheel on the bottom of the rail, these are called up-stop wheels that prevent the roller coaster from flying off the tracks. This 3 wheel locking system sort of hug the rails to lock the roller coaster train to the rails.
How is geometry involved in a roller coaster?
There are a few math concepts involved with roller coaster design. Algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus are all used. Calculations of kinetic and potential energies must be done. Velocities and accelerations must be computed. Lateral and vertical forces must be figured. Newton's three laws of motion are evident when observing a roller coaster. All three laws can be represented mathematically to some extent. The formula for his second law is known by anyone who has taken high-school physics: F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.
Engineering and architecture. You need to be able to understand a lot about roller coasters and how to design and build them.

How do you build a backyard roller coaster?
First of all it depends on how big your backyard is. If it's very small, then you really can't do anything. If you don't even have one, then you obviously can't do anything. If you have a medium backyard, get one of those K'Nex Kits on how to build a roller coaster and you should be done within two hours (that's how long it takes for me to build them) If you have a large backyard, maybe even bigger than your house, then you can build a small one. If you have a celebrity's backyard, you can do just about anything. You cannot, however, build one like Phineas and Ferb. I am sorry.
Ok. You got a backyard big enough for a baby roller coaster. This rollercoaster will not be one of those fancy rollercoasters you see at Universal or Disney. It will be a baby one. Get a track. Then a shopping cart. Whee!
