Does a roller coaster use potential and kinetic energy?

I'm taking a physics final tomorrow, so i know this. Potential Engergy: (change in potential energy) =mgh (h is the change in the elevation)(m is mass)(g is gravity which is 9.81) Kinetic Energy: Energy =(1/2)mass x velocity(squared)

When does a roller coaster increase kinetic energy?

A roller coaster increases kinetic energy when it is going downhill, as gravity is pulling it down and accelerating it. The potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the roller coaster gains speed.

Where on a roller coaster is potential energy at the highest?

Potential energy is highest at the dead top of the highest point on the roller coaster. It is lowest at the lowest point. Kinetic energy (motion energy) is highest at the point where the velocity is highest. This depends on the design. A good guess is dead bottom of the longest fall, but on a complex coaster ride there are other possibilities. Also, air resistance and friction can change this.

Why do the hills of a coaster decrease in height throughout the ride?

The hills in the track of a roller coaster gradually decline in height due to the speed and friction the train of the coaster is receiving. As the friction of the tracks affect the train, it begins to lose its momentum. The heights of the hills decrease so the train can successfully make it from start to finish.

How does a roller coaster create the sensation of falling and being thrown around?

It is due to the effect of G-force. Though the effect at a fairground is not as severe as that felt by a jet-pilot wearing a G-suit, it is still enough for someone passing fast over the top of a hump-backed bridge (for instance) to feel as though they have left their stomach behind, as the vehicle suddenly drops.
