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 else can I help you with?
If a roller coaster has 100 joules of energy at the top of the first hill how much energy will it have at the bottom?
100. The amount of energy a roller coaster has is maintained throughout the whole journey. Its the conservation of energy - energy can' t be created or destroyed it can only be transferred. It therefore depends what type of energy you mean in the question. It can have a total of 100 joules meaning yes, anywhere on the roller coaster it will remain as 100 joules however if your saying 100 joules of gravitational potential energy at the top by the bottom of the hill it will have decreased and have been converted into at least 80 joules of kinetic energy leaving 20 joules as gravitational potential energy. Sorry for the poor grammar; just focus on the science. I have an exam on this in two weeks...
What is the difference between a hyper-coaster and a giga-coaster?
A hyper-coaster is a large roller coaster that has a lift hill height of at least 200 feet. A giga-coaster is larger, with a lift hill of at least 300 feet.
What are the height requirements for riding the roller coaster at the amusement park if you must be at least 4'4" tall to ride?
To ride the roller coaster at the amusement park, you must be at least 4 feet and 4 inches tall.
How does a bowling ball being rolled down a bowling alley have kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy a moving body - in this case, the bowling ball - has. The ball actually has two forms of kinetic energy: rotational and translational. The rotational energy is the energy of it's spin, and the translational energy is the energy of it's motion towards the pins.
What education is needed to be a roller coaster designer?
You need an engineering degree at the very least.
What is the following molecules in order from least kinetic energy to greatest?
The molecules with the least kinetic energy are in solid form, followed by liquid, and then gas with the greatest kinetic energy.
What are the four stages of matter in order from least kinetic energy to most kinetic energy?
The four stages of matter in order from least kinetic energy to most kinetic energy are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. In a solid, particles have the least kinetic energy and are tightly packed together. In a plasma, particles have the most kinetic energy and are ionized.
What is the least popular roller coaster?
The little gator one for 2 year olds that goes around in a circle.
Which states of matter has the most kinetic energy to the least kinetic energy?
In general, gases have the most kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids have the least kinetic energy. This is because the particles in gases have high energy and move freely, while the particles in liquids have less freedom but more energy than solids, where the particles have the least freedom and lowest energy.
Describe the movement of matter in order of most kinetic energy to least kinetic energy?
Gas > Liquid > Solid. Gas particles have the highest kinetic energy and move freely, while liquid particles have less kinetic energy and move more slowly. Solid particles have the least kinetic energy and vibrate in place.
When was kinetic energy discovered?
People have had an intuitive understanding of kinetic energy for at least as long as there have been people.
What is the least scary roller coaster in Canada's Wonderland?
I would say the 'Ghoster Coaster'. It was once Scooby Doo's Haunted Mansion, and is a great ride for younger children.
