Research Paper On The Conservation Energy Of Roller Coasters
The conservation energy of roller coaster can be illustrated by this image. As the coaster is being pulled up the hill by the motor it is storing more and more potential energy. That potential energy is turned into energy as gravity pulls you down the first hill. The farther you go down the hill, the more potential energy is changed into kinetic energy, which you feel as speed. The ride goes fastest at the bottom of the hill because more and more of the potential energy has been changed to kinetic energy.
