What is acceleration on a roller coaster?
"... acceleration is the change in Velocityover time." In other words, it is the rate at which an objects speeds up. On a rollercoaster, acceleration is key. Rollercoasters can either be launched using hydrolics or magnets, or be brought up the hill by a chain lift. In a chain driven rollercoster, gravity causes it to accelerate once it is at the top of the hill. Then, momentum and speed cause the train to go up again. Then gravity accelerates it, and so on.

Total Energy is Equal to the Potential Energy plus Kinetic Energy of the rollercoaster car.
Total Energy at 40 m:
PE= (mass)(gravity)(height) = (236kg)(9.81m/s^2)(40m) = 92606.4 J
PE(at 18 meters) = (236kg)(9.81m/s^2)(18m) = 41672.88 J
Total Energy - PE at 18m = Kinetic Energy
KE = (2606.4J)-(41672.88J)= 50933.52 J
KE = (1/2)mv^2 = (.5)(236kg)(v^2)
50933.52 J = (.5)(236kg)(v^2)
V= 20.776 m/s
Does the more cars on a roller coaster going down a hill make it travel farther?

Why is puberty like a roller coaster ride?
It can be like a roller-coaster ride sometimes, but not for everyone. Emotions are stirred up by the hormones responsible for the secondary sexual characteristics. There is so much change going on in the body and brain it can be very confusing for some to cope with daily living. The least little thing can cause huge emotional outbursts in teenagers having a hard time with the changes.
Remember though, that this won't go on indefinitely. It does take several years to get through puberty, but by the time you have you will be a changed person and back to your normal self again.
