Concept explainers
To explain:The transformation of energies for a roller coaster ride.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The energy possessed by the object due to its motion is known as potential energy. The energy possessed by the object due to its motion known as kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is due to the property of motion while potential energy is due to the property of state.
Explanation:
In roller coaster ride, when rollercoaster goes up, it starts losing its kinetic energy and gains potential energy.At maximum height, it gains potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero at this point. When it comes down, it loses potential energy and gains kinetic energy.
