What types of energy work on a roller coaster?
the two forces are friction and gravity
What types of motion does the rider experience during the roller coaster ride?
it's periodic motion.
What does a roller coaster do?
Well, to understand what a roller coaster does you will need to understand what a roller coaster is. A roller coaster is a small vehicle that runs along a fixed track. What a roller coaster does is move along that fixed track at very high speeds, and many people find this very thrilling And if your wondering how a roller coaster works Well, there are 2 types of roller coaster, most commonly the Chain Lift, The chain lift works by hooks on the bottom of the roller coaster car that hook on to a roller chain (the type of chain you would find on a bicycle) and the chain pulls you all the way to the top of the big hill, This is the part where you hear all the clicking. As you start going down the big hill the hooks simply slide out of the chain and gravity starts to take over, but the roller coaster can stay moving because of Kinetic energy and Potential energy. So the 3 things that are very important to a Roller Coaster are Kinetic energy, Potential energy, and gravity. A roller coaster works sort of like rolling a ball down a hill. For info on the launched roller coaster check out the related links.
What types of force will make a roller coaster turn through a loop?
centrifical force
Does a roller coaster have more potential energy at the top of the hill or at the bottom?
A roller coaster has more potential energy at the bottom. There are 2 types of energy, potential and kinetic. energy closer to a surface or floor is potential energy and objects in the middle of it all has kinetic energy.
Does Six Flags switch roller coasters with other Six Flags theme parks?
A Roller Coaster is a large and massive ride in theme parks. Though names and types of ride may be similar in Six Flags Parks they do not share the exact same coaster.
What types of friction are on a roller coaster?
It provides undesired slowing of the coaster on its path but it is essential for the brakes to stop it at the station.
What control the roller coaster?
Most roller coasters will accelerate due to gravitational potential energy being converted to kinetic energy on the coaster car after being gained from a hill lift. There is no way of controlling the acceleration due to it completely being acted upon by gravity. Different types of track; car design and wheel bearing will affect the acceleration slightly.
Can you ride a roller coaster with high blood pressure?
Some one with high blood pressure should not ride roller coasters because they put several different types of stress on the body which can cause your blood pressure go up even higher and put your heart in danger.
How many different types of Civic wheels are there?
There are two types of wheels for the Honda Civic. The two types are alloy wheels and steel wheels. Alloy wheels are considered more stylish, lightweight, and durable than steel wheels.
What three types of energy from a roller coaster are added together to equal the total amount of original potential energy?
These would be the Linear Kinetic Energy due to the forward velocity of the car; The Rotational Kinetic Energy of the rotating wheels and the Thermal or Heat Energy due to the various frictional forces on the car.
What are some different types of wheels?
Pin wheel
