Wind resistance and track friction are the primary sources of energy for the roller coaster.

Inertia keeps riders pressed against the bottom of the car as the coaster spins.

The design of the coaster's loop-the-loop does not impact rider safety.

The higher the hill a roller coaster descends from, the more potential energy it has.

Kinetic energy is constantly shifting between potential and kinetic energy during the ride.
