    The conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy is what drives the roller coaster‚ and all of the kinetic energy you need for the ride is there once the coaster goes down the very first hill. Once the coaster gets going‚ there are different types of wheels that help keep the ride smooth. Roller coasters don’t have engines. But they do have energy. Once all passengers are in the coaster‚ the carts get released and begin to roll down the first hill. The force of gravity makes them accelerate downwards

    .Physics is the field of scince that controls the Earth‚ the Moon‚ the Sun and the Universe It is the science of matter and its motion‚ space-time and energy. Physics describes many forms of energy - such as kinetic energy‚ electrical energy‚ and mass; and the way energy can change from one form to another. Everything surrounding to us is made of matter and Physics explains matter as combinations of fundamental particles which are interacting through fundamental forces. It will not be an exaggeration

    Physics G Unit 6 – Momentum Internet Lab – Momentum and Collisions Name: Date: Period: Website: http://phet.colorado.edu/ Play with the Sims  Physics Motion  Collision Lab Introduction: When objects move‚ they have momentum. Momentum‚ p‚ is the product of an object’s mass (kg) and its velocity (m/s). The unit for momentum‚ p‚ is kg·m/s. During a collision objects transfer momentum to each other‚ resulting in different motions than before the collision. In this activity you will study
