https://padlet.com/lara_scanlon/6k1a92ap9irzg2k4 Where does the roller coaster get its energy? How did it feel to ride a roller coaster? en-us 2021-12-08 20:57:08 UTC 2025-10-22 09:46:02 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f601.png https://padlet.com/lara_scanlon/6k1a92ap9irzg2k4/wish/1938719614 2021-12-09 16:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lara_scanlon/6k1a92ap9irzg2k4/wish/1938719614 https://padlet.com/lara_scanlon/6k1a92ap9irzg2k4/wish/1939097352 Well, when the coaster's at the top it has lots of potential energy, which then turns into kinetic energy. I mean I love roller coasters and they are exhilarating, meanwhile Cameron does not like them and prefers water slides. ~Kate + Cameron]]> 2021-12-09 20:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lara_scanlon/6k1a92ap9irzg2k4/wish/1939097352 1037768 https://padlet.com/lara_scanlon/6k1a92ap9irzg2k4/wish/1940696159 It uses electricity to move from the lever that controls it.]]> 2021-12-10 16:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lara_scanlon/6k1a92ap9irzg2k4/wish/1940696159 https://padlet.com/lara_scanlon/6k1a92ap9irzg2k4/wish/1940696943 when the roller coaster goes up it needs energy to pull it up.

I think it would feel very exhilarating but I don't like roller coaster

When the coaster is on top it has stored energy called keinetic energy and when it starts to go down the hill its stored energy is being showed and it is called potential energy then the energy increaces and the roller coaster moves faster.]]> 2021-12-10 16:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lara_scanlon/6k1a92ap9irzg2k4/wish/1940702381 https://padlet.com/lara_scanlon/6k1a92ap9irzg2k4/wish/1940704395 2021-12-10 16:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lara_scanlon/6k1a92ap9irzg2k4/wish/1940704395 10133392 https://padlet.com/lara_scanlon/6k1a92ap9irzg2k4/wish/1940719057 When a roller coaster starts to go up it has potential energy, then when it starts going down faster and faster it's called kinetic energy! 

Zeynab - I think it depends, some roller coasters are fun while some makes me scream on the top of my lungs.

Diana - It felt relaxing but terrifying when my hair was flying.]]> 2021-12-10 16:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lara_scanlon/6k1a92ap9irzg2k4/wish/1940719057 10378862 https://padlet.com/lara_scanlon/6k1a92ap9irzg2k4/wish/1940729925 When the cart is at the top of the hill it has potential energy, which means it has the potential to move and speed up. When it goes downwards, it has kinetic energy and speeds up. When I ride a roller coaster, I feel very excited and I enjoy riding roller coasters a lot. 
So I think that roller coasters are very joyous but sometimes when the roller coaster goes down very fast I feel very terrified. Victoria thinks that roller coasters are very terrifying and scary and she despises them.
