Question

The energy possessed by a person on a roller coaster ride is:

  1. Kinetic energy
  2. Potential energy
  3. Restoring energy
  4. Mechanical energy

hintHint:

On a roller coaster, energy changes from potential to kinetic and back again repeatedly over and over the course of the ride.

The correct answer is: Mechanical energy


    The energy possessed by a person on a roller coaster ride is: Kinetic energy
    • The energy that an object possesses as result of its motion is known as kinetic energy. 
    • Any item in motion has kinetic energy. 
    • The mass and speed of the object affect the amount of kinetic energy. 
    • If roller coaster car is travelling quickly and has a lot of mass, it has lot of kinetic energy.
