Potential energy and Kinetic

energy both happen on roller

coasters, PE happens when you

sitting there before a ride

waiting to start or even when in

the middle of the ride when

it brakes down. KE happens when

you start the ride and when the

ride gets fixed and you start to

move again.

This is my second favorite

thing on a coaster because

how it pushes you up on your

seat and you can't really move.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my favorite thrill element

because of how it makes you

feel like you are weightless.

Kinetic energy is energy that a body possesses

by virtue of being in motion. So if you shot a

rubber band, it wouldn't become Kinetic energy

till it was released or "shot".

# data[].attributes.body
Potential energy is stored energy but

it has the potential to become Kinetic

energy. The formula for Potential energy

is PE = mgh. The unit is a joule, and the

equation is Joules = m . h . g

Friction is the resistance that one surface or object

encounters when moving over another. On roller

coasters there is not much friction because the

wheels slide over metal bars. Friction is greatest

on a roller coaster when it is stopping

The Kingda Ka is both

the tallest roller coaster

in the world and has

the longest drop. The

Formula Rossa is the

fastest in the world.

A "g" is a unit that is used to measure

acceleration. G refers to gravity and the

more acceleration the more g's. The more

G's you have on a roller coaster the faster

you go.

Amusement parks now a days usually have

a few weightless rides because riders like the

feeling of being "free" like you have nothing

pulling you down. They feel like this because

you can't feel an external force pulling you

down. This is because you are not feeling

the force of your seat pushing against you.

They are not actually "Weightless".

The roller coaster traces its origins to Russia, where wood-framed ice slides sent

sledders down 70-foot high slopes as early as the 16th century. These Russian Mountains

also became popular summertime attractions when wheeled carts rolled riders

down large, undulating wooden ramps. Like many roller coasters now, they have tire propelled

starts to help go faster and they angle on roller coasters rails to make sure the motion stays.

This happens when your body is being

pushed agianst your seat in the middle

a loop.

# data[].attributes.body
This is when an object is getting pulled

inward. On a roller coaster its when you

go on a curve, it's when your body wants

to go out but gets pulled in

# data[].attributes.body
Acceleration is when an object changes it's

direction or speed, or both. On a roller coaster

this happens when, you go on a drop.
