Facets:
Source sentences:
text: Roller coasters are typically not powered vehicles; at the start of the ride they are charged with gravitational potential energy then transfer this backwards and forwards to kinetic energy as they ride up and down the track.
text: In the case of a roller coaster, the stored energy is called "gravitational potential energy," since it is the force of gravity that will convert the potential energy into other forms.
text: Friction turns the useful energy of the roller coaster (gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy) into heat energy, which serves no purpose associated with propelling cars along the track.
