PE Is potential energy, and GPE is G-forces. And not the guinea pig squad!
But anyway, the wierd ticks are like accelerators, which speeds up the coaster to allow it to go up, and have enough energy for the coaster to get back up to the top.

At the top of the roller coaster there is a lot of potential energy and going down there is kinetic energy. While its going down down the potential energy is being transfered to kinetic energy.

A the car moves up the hill, it's G.P.E. increases. It is then transferred into K.E. as the car goes back down the hill. As it moves up the hill again it gathers more G.P.E. and loses K.E.

First, the vehicle goes up the hill, creating kinetic energy. Then, when the car stop on top of the hill, that is creating potential energy. Then, the car goes back up down and up the next hill creating more kinetic energy.

GPE stands for gravitational potential energy, and KE stands for kinetic energy. So when it's going up on the roller coaster, it's potential energy is increasing and it's kinetic energy is normal. However, it's kinetic energy decreases when when it stop at the top of the roller coaster. And when it goes down the giant hill, it's kinetic energy dramatically increases but the coasters potential energy decreases.

GPE is G-Force and PE is potential energy and on the picture above it is showing that when the cart on the tracks are going up it is using G-force and potential energy is being used to increase the speed.

PE is potential energy ( or physical education) and GPE is gravitational potential energy. At the top of the ramp, the cart has no kinetic energy, but has a lot of potential energy. The roles change when the cart is going down a ramp. When the cart goes a ramp, the cart loses kinetic energy and changes it to gravitational potential energy.

I do believe you copied me.

As the car moves up the hill it's GPE increases. Then the GPE transfers into KE. This process repeats at you go up and down slopes. In this case a track.

It's people riding on a roller coaster. Isn't it obvious?

The cart moves up the ramp and then kinetic energy brings the cart downward.

as the car moves its GPE increases

It goes up the hill and starts off slow then it goes down the hill really fast and then slows back down.

the roller coster goes up and down.

A car goes up a hill, and travels down the hill and gains speed, to go up the next hill.

this is a graph of a roller coaster,with hills

It shows a cart going up and down.

Jacob Libbbbaaaaaayyyyyyy said...

The car moves and it slows down when it goes up, speeds up when it goes down

AutumnP said...

It shows a roller coaster going up then down.

It's a pretty picture of two orange objects in a sear going up and down tracks.
