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.

When is the velocity constant during a roller coaster ride?
Velocity is constant when the middle of the roller coaster is parallel with the ground (when the tangent of the curve the roller coaster is on has a slope of 0 at the center of mass of the roller coaster).
When was Vertical Velocity - roller coaster - created?
Vertical Velocity - roller coaster - was created in 2001.
When would a roller coaster velocity change?
Going up and down
What would happen if rollercoster went 1000mph?
the roller coaster would crack and break apart because of the velocity. It is to much for a roller coaster to handle.
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.
How does velocity change as the slope of the roller coaster gets steeper?
You're not giving quite enough information. At the moment you are interested in, is the roller coaster moving freely on the track, or is it under the control of a cog or other system? Is the roller coaster on its way down an incline, or on its way up?
Where does velocity happen in a roller coaster?
From the time you start moving to the time you stop...
What is the minimum velocity required for a roller coaster to successfully complete a loop?
The minimum velocity required for a roller coaster to successfully complete a loop depends on factors such as the size of the loop and the gravitational force acting on the coaster. In general, the velocity must be sufficient to counteract the force of gravity and ensure that the coaster does not lose contact with the track at the top of the loop. This velocity is typically calculated using the centripetal force formula.
What is the welsh word for roller coaster?
The translation of the English word, 'Roller Coaster' is..Roller Coaster
Why is there an apostrophe in roller coaster's?
Roller coaster's doesn't take the place of anything but it shows possession. Example: roller coaster's design
What effect does force have on the acceleration of a roller coaster?
The slope of a roller coaster describes how steep the roller coaster is. Knowing the angle of the slope will tell you how steep a roller coaster is.
How do you use a roller coaster?
You ride in the seats of a roller coaster.
