Roller Coaster Engineering
Remember: Roller coasters get their energy from the force of gravity, called "potential energy" or stored energy. The amount of potential energy depends on height, and taller roller coasters will have more energy than kiddie coasters close to the ground. Potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy as the roller coaster is pulled down the hill by gravity. Kinetic energy is energy of motion. The faster you go, the more kinetic energy you have. New information: In real roller coasters, FRICTION is the force that slows roller coasters down. Friction is the force between any two objects or surfaces touching, like shoes on a road or wheels on a track. Some energy turns into heat due to friction, so engineers need to make sure there is enough energy to make it to the end of the track. Click the button for a diagram about friction and then spin the wheel!
