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.
