Energy of Roller Coasters

The video explains how roller coasters operate using potential and kinetic energy. It describes how energy is transformed as the roller coaster moves, highlighting the role of gravity and energy dynamics in the ride's speed and motion. The video also covers design aspects, such as the importance of starting height and loop dynamics, and encourages viewers to observe energy points during a ride.

Why is it important for the starting point of a roller coaster to be higher than other parts of the ride?

What happens to a roller coaster train's energy when it goes through a loop?
