Choose the correct physics terms which can be used to describe how roller coasters work.
On a traditional roller coaster, the train begins by going slowly up a steep slope at the start of the track. Generally, the train is pulled up this slope by
a moving chain located below the track, which is driven by an electric motor. When the train reaches the top of the slope, it has
This means it has the ability to descend due to the force of gravity. Therefore, the train can now produce
