What else can I help you with?
Is iron used in roller coasters?
Yes, in the tracks and the wheels the roller coaster cart rests on.
How are the height of the hills on a roller coaster designed to help an empty cart to reach the end of the ride?
The height of the hills decrease so the carts will loose momentum in order to make it to the end.
How do you make a roller coaster for school?
use toothpicks and glue them together. and put a little toy car on as the cart
What are some factors that affect cart velocity on a roller coaster?
Height, angle, and track type. Height, angle, and track type.
Does a roller coaster have sound energy wasted?
roller coasters waste energy through sound and heat. The wheels on the cart and the metal tracks grind together to make a fricional pull. this causes the screeching sound when the cart stops, and the heat of the track.
What is the mass of a train cart of Kingda Ka?
The mass of a train cart on Kingda Ka roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure is approximately 2,850 pounds or 1,293 kilograms.
What is the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy for a roller coaster?
Potential energy is highest at the top of a roller coaster when the cart has the highest elevation. As the cart descends, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, reaching its maximum at the bottom. The relationship between potential and kinetic energy is a transfer of energy, as one decreases while the other increases.
Will a smaller or larger roller coaster cart have more kinetic energy?
Yes becuase it is going up alot of hills and when it is coming down it is working
What brings cart to top on a roller coaster?

The ability to work is called?
Energy. Potential energy is like stored energy: ready-to go. (a cart at the top of a roller coaster hill has a lot of potential energy) Kinetic energy is moving energy: in-motion. (when that cart goes speeding down the hill)
Where does a roller coaster have the least kinetic energy?
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
How does gravity move a roller coaster around a track?
provides a force downwards on slopes. this causes acceleration in the downwards direction, and decelleration in the upwards direction, which is then translated into lateral motion as the track curves. As friction slows the cart, conservation of energy E=mgh prevents the cart from reaching its original height without additional boosters/chains. To simplify: gravity provides the accelerateing force to cause the cart to coast.
