Question

Explain the different principles that allow roller coasters to rip and roar around the tracks. In your response, include how energy is transferred back and forth between kinetic and potential.

Answer 1

Answer:

In the roller coasters the potential energy that is given is the gravitational potential energy, which this energy increases its value as the object moves away from the earth, that is to say, the more height the roller coaster acquires the more gravitational potential energy it will have, and Said train where people usually get on the roller coaster will descend or descend with greater acceleration.

This gravitational potential energy once the mountain begins to descend or descend is converted into kinetic energy

Explanation:

This that we wrote above is considering that the roller coaster does not have curved routes but rectilinear, in the case that it had curved routes, a force would be added in addition to those written that is the centripetal force, it is the same force that appears in the centrifuges or dryers of clothes or the same washing machine. This force, the centripetal force is the force that draws a moving object, in a curvilinear path, towards the center of the curvature.
