A roller coaster is a thrilling amusement ride that uses tracks, steep drops, and sharp turns to generate excitement. It typically involves a train or cars that move along the track, powered by gravity and, in some cases, motors. The ride begins with an initial ascent, often on a lift hill, building potential energy. As it descends, this energy converts to kinetic energy, creating speed and dynamic motion. Safety features like harnesses and restraints secure riders throughout. The design combines physics and engineering to deliver a controlled but exhilarating experience, balancing speed, height, and motion to entertain and amuse.
