Physical Science: Roller Coaster Physics

This kahoot explores the physics behind what makes rollercoasters work, such as gravity, inertia, centripetal force, potential & kinetic energy, and weightlessness.

On what two main physics concepts do roller coasters rely?

mass & weight friction & mass gravity & inertia engines & batteries
