Depends. A single train weighs up to 500 pounds. A full train weighs about 2 tons.
I think that well I know that they weight about 600-700 pounds
It depends which roller coater because each roller coaster has a different weight.

Is a roller coaster ride faster than a car?
Some roller coaster rides can go faster than the average speed of cars. The fastest roller coaster ride in the world is the Formula Rossa in the UAE. It goes 149 mph.
Why does a roller coaster with more people in it will travel much faster than an empty car?
A roller-coaster would go faster with more people in it because with moer people the better the ride alsothe people that are ridding will give the roller-coaster potential energy. A roller-coaster would go slower with an empty car will give the roller-coaster kinetic energy than with peolpe in it.
What is faster The World's Fastest Car or The World's Fastest Roller Coaster?
The world's faster car must be faster than the world's fastest roller coaster.
Where does the friction oppose motion on a roller coaster car?
between the wheels of the car and the track
Where is the potential energy of the greatest on a roller coaster?
It is when the car is at its highest point.
How do you say 'roller coaster car' in French?
"Voiture de montagnes russes"
Where is potential energy the highest on a roller coaster?
The potential energy is highest at the top of the first hill or peak of the roller coaster because it is at its maximum height above the ground. As the roller coaster descends, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the car gains speed.
What does a roller coaster do?
Well, to understand what a roller coaster does you will need to understand what a roller coaster is. A roller coaster is a small vehicle that runs along a fixed track. What a roller coaster does is move along that fixed track at very high speeds, and many people find this very thrilling And if your wondering how a roller coaster works Well, there are 2 types of roller coaster, most commonly the Chain Lift, The chain lift works by hooks on the bottom of the roller coaster car that hook on to a roller chain (the type of chain you would find on a bicycle) and the chain pulls you all the way to the top of the big hill, This is the part where you hear all the clicking. As you start going down the big hill the hooks simply slide out of the chain and gravity starts to take over, but the roller coaster can stay moving because of Kinetic energy and Potential energy. So the 3 things that are very important to a Roller Coaster are Kinetic energy, Potential energy, and gravity. A roller coaster works sort of like rolling a ball down a hill.

What is the mass of the car on a roller coaster at six flags?
500 kg
How can energy change from potential to kinetic use a roller coaster car as an example?
In the case of a roller coaster car, gravity itself is the basis of both potential and kinetic, the difference being that if something obstructs or controls the rate at which gravity can act to draw an object or body toward the ground then that something would be conserving potential energy. If gravity were allowed to act on the roller coaster car unimpeded then the car would be drawn straight to the ground so the relationship between potential and kinetic energy for a roller coaster is a directly proportional relationship between the distance between the track and the ground, where the slope of the track and initial speed of the roller coaster car form the initial input of energy; potential in the form of distance from the ground and kinetic in the form of velocity.
What happens when riders on a roller coaster go on a sharp turn?
when riders go around a sharp turn on a roller coaster, they're accelerated. it feels like there is a force pushing them against the side of the car.
Where do the wheels go on roller coasters?
Each car of the train on the roller coaster has wheels that grab on to the top, the outside rail (most of them), and the bottom.
