Physics behind roller coasters Energy can be converted from one from to another. When the car is still‚ the energy which is acting on it is GPE (gravitational potential energy). The car starts to accelerate towards the peak. The energy is converted from GPE to Kinetic energy. The car is at the peak. The energy transfers from Kinetic energy to GPE. The car starts to go down. The energy transfers again from GPE to Kinetic energy. There is no kinetic energy when the car is still at the bottom‚ as

Roller Coaster of Love Two of the greatest things in life are love and amusement parks. When you think amusement parks you’re mind goes to either the food or even better‚ the roller coasters.

History A roller coaster train going down hill represents merely a complex case as a body is descending an inclined plane. Newton’s first two laws relate force and acceleration‚ which are key concepts in roller coaster physics. At amusement parks‚ Newton’s laws can be applied to every ride. These rides range from ’The Swings’ to The ’Hammer’. Newton was also one of the developers of calculus which is essential to analyzing falling bodies constrained on more complex paths than inclined planes. A

but I was still so scared. If you haven’t found out the thing I am talking about‚ the thing I am stressing about is a rollercoaster. But not just any rollercoaster‚ a seven-looping‚ twisting turning roller coaster. It is called Bizarro. I had been on just about all the other roller coasters at the park‚ but not bizarro! It scared me too much! I was at the park with my two friends‚ Shayne and Kyleigh. “Come on guys‚ it really isn’t that scary!” Shayne called out. “Easy
