Before the rollercoaster ride starts and the net force is zero is an example of

• unbalanced forces

• gravity

• balanced forces

• contact force

At the end of the rollercoaster ride, this force is needed because it resists motion between two surfaces that are pressed together.

• gravity

• velocity

• friction

At which point on the roller coaster will the car have the greatest amount of kinetic energy?

• A

• B

• C

• D
