Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. Since a roller coaster is on a ramp, the ramp has to support the (apparently larger) weight of the roller coaster, especially when it turns it back up against gravity at the bottom of each incline. The rollers on each car also prevent the cars from leaving the track on turns, by exerting a controlling force using the sides and upper half of the track.

Is a roller coaster an example of newtons third law?

Not really. Newtons laws basically are: 1. an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by a force 2. force equals mass times acceleration 3. every reaction has an equal and opposite reaction Roller coasters are, however, a good example of conservation of energy.


How does Newton's Third Law relate to a rollercoaster?

Newton's second law (Force equals mass times acceleration, F = ma) deals with acceleration so it "takes effect" every time that the roller coaster speeds up, slows down or turns (horizontally or vertically).Basically Newton's second law just says that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Or, in other words, the harder you push the faster it speeds up and the bigger it is the slower it speeds up (or slows down - deceleration is an acceleration).This means that in your roller coaster example, the object is the roller coaster and the force can be: The motors that start the coaster and lift it up hills. The brakes that slow it down. Gravity which pulls it down the hills. The rails and wheels which cause the roller coaster to turn around bends, etc. At each of these points, Newton's second law is at play, determining how much acceleration will result from the force applied to the roller coaster's mass.


How often does Newton's third law of motion happen?

Always. Evey object in the universe is experiencing Newtons third law. Just by sitting in your chair motionless you are experiencing Newtons third law.

How is newton's third law of motion effect roller coasters?

Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, forces are balanced. When you sit on a seat you might exert a force of 550 Newtons on it but the seat pushes up with an equal force.Considering the roller coaster:the roller coaster exerts a force against the metal restraining/safety system but the metal restraining system exerts an equal force to stop the carriage flying off;the passenger safety bar restrains the person so that they are not flung out of the carriage by the force of the turns;when going up an incline the force of gravity is exerted on the carriages but the machinery exerts an opposite force to lift the carriages;The passengers get flung around which is more Newton's first law and second law.

the third fastest coaster is located in Nevada, if you go to Primm you can see the large drop it is called the Desperado its like 150 mph no loops or anything just a lot of vomit and lost phones so if you are gonna go on it prepare for a headache.

What is X2 at Six Flags?

X² (formerly known as X) is a steel roller coaster operating at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California . It is the world's first 4th Dimension roller coaster and was the last roller coaster built by Arrow Dynamics. It is unique in that the trains' seats can be rotated 360 degrees backwards or forwards. The ride first opened to the public on January 12, 2002. On December 2, 2007, the ride closed for upgrades. It was repainted, received new third generation trains, and features new special effects. The ride reopened on May 24, 2008. Its name is pronounced X-two, not X-squared or X to the second power.
