There are 4 types of gs.
-Positive gs
The feeling at the bottom of a hill
Feels like something is pressing you against your seat
Survivable rate- 1-6-7 gs
-Negative gs
The feeling when you go fast on a small hill
Also called airtime by us coaster enthusiasts
Feels like something is pulling you out of your seat
Survivable rate- 0- -2gs
-Lateral gs
The feeling of going fast on a small turn
Coaster designers try to avoid this as much as possible
Survivable rate- depends how much pain you can take but never over 1.6
-Acceleration gs
The feeling of being launched
Feels like when you accelerate at a traffic light when it turns green
(Awesome Feeling by the way :) )
You can experience this on launch coasters like kingda ka or top thrill dragster
Survivable rate- up to 17
Hope this answers your question!

What are the forces acting on a roller coaster in a free body diagram?
In a free body diagram of a roller coaster, the forces acting on it are gravity, normal force, friction, and air resistance.
What forces are acting on a roller coaster in motion?
centripital motion, gravity, friction, ect.
What is the significance of a free body diagram in analyzing the forces acting on a roller coaster?
A free body diagram is important in analyzing the forces on a roller coaster because it helps to visually represent and isolate the forces acting on the coaster, such as gravity, normal force, friction, and tension. By breaking down these forces, engineers can better understand how they affect the motion and stability of the roller coaster, allowing for more accurate predictions and adjustments to ensure a safe and thrilling ride.
What is the significance of a free body diagram in analyzing the forces acting on a roller coaster as it travels through a loop?
A free body diagram is important in analyzing the forces on a roller coaster in a loop because it helps to identify and understand the different forces acting on the coaster, such as gravity, normal force, and centripetal force. By visually representing these forces, engineers can ensure the coaster's safety and stability during the loop.
How can a free body diagram be used to analyze the forces acting on a roller coaster car as it goes through a loop?
A free body diagram can help analyze the forces acting on a roller coaster car by showing all the forces acting on the car, such as gravity, normal force, and tension. By analyzing these forces, we can determine if the car will have enough speed to make it through the loop safely.
How can a free body diagram be used to analyze the forces acting on a loop in a roller coaster?
A free body diagram can help analyze the forces acting on a loop in a roller coaster by showing all the external forces acting on the loop, such as gravity, normal force, and tension. This diagram can help determine if the loop will have enough speed to complete the loop without falling off or if additional forces are needed to keep the riders safe.
When do you fell positive gravationanal forces on a roller coaster?
If the roller coaster is on Earth,then you feel them all the time.
Is there a roller coaster that uses all forces?
no
What forces stop a roller coaster?
Gravity and Friction
Why don't you fall down when you are riding on roller coaster?
According to Newton's first law of motion, a body will continue in its state of uniform motion along a straight line when there is no net force acting on it. That means if the roller coaster is under no external forces, it would move in a straight line tangential to the track. However, there should be forces acting on it because its direction of motion changes. Assuming that the mass of the roller coaster is, it is moving at a velocity, and the track is circular with a radius, the centripetal force required would be
Why does a roller coaster with more people in it will travel much faster than an empty car?
A roller-coaster would go faster with more people in it because with moer people the better the ride alsothe people that are ridding will give the roller-coaster potential energy. A roller-coaster would go slower with an empty car will give the roller-coaster kinetic energy than with peolpe in it.
What do some people call an amusements park roller coaster?
A really big roller coaster.
