So the red is just a straight line of course, the blue must be the brachistocrone, is the yellow a 1/x curve? It sure didn’t look like a parabola and I don’t think it’s a hyperbola…
I am curious which one achieves the highest velocity. Red has the shortest track length, yellow has the longest track length. The title of the Video should be which train arrives 1st. Just because it arrives 1st doesn’t mean it has a higher velocity. You can travel slower but still arrive 1st because you took a shorter route. My instinct leads me to believe it yellow because it had the longest distance to travel but still arrived before red, which, had the shortest distance to travel.
This is only true for flat spaces. In general this does not hold true. The generalized saying is: "the shortest path between 2 points is the geodesic". Therefore flat earthers don't need the geodesic (joke).
@@ChloeFields50 Well, Yellow focuses on the y axis while red focuses on the x axis. To be the fastest, you have to go forward but you must also gain speed to be the fastest there, not just the fastest there (When yellow got there he was the fastest, but blue got there first even though he wasn't because he multitasked to put it simply)
Technically the red train is the fastest, if by fastest you mean speed. The red train travels the least distance and will encounter the least friction, slowing it down the least. Meaning that by the end of the first drop it will be going the fastest.

I think Steve Mould Channel did a video on this and why the middle curve is the best balance for gaining speed.
This is what the physics problems looked like in high school
That’s because it is a physics problem
@@Gaming_Atlas but in a fun way. why dont schools have this shit
@@MeteorHDD because if it was fun, we wouldn’t learn or something idk
nah it looks like those 3 water slides at the back of a waterpark
@@Gaming_Atlas
It’s been proven multiple times kids learn better when learning is fun
Red one snapping some necks
Breaking backs
Haven't you thought about recreating the Phineas & Ferb Roller Coaster?
The brachistochrone!

My favorite color is blue, and blue won 🏆
It was satisfying seeing the yellow one come zooming in and passing the red one.
this is a test that the developers must do to check if their physics is correct?
My dumb ass: "Red, or maybe yellow. Could be either one but blue" .... facepalm. At least I learned something today!
Hey! Planet Coaster Sauce!
Marcel Vos and VSauce would be proud.
I think Steve Mould or Action Lab did a video on this and why the middle curve is the best balance.
Marcel Vos would be like now let's put some launches on it and make the track invisible
@@stuartdparnell ... and set it to run for 50 years.
Eh I thought it would be the yellow one 🤔
It reaches top speed faster but the track is longer and has more issues with resistance.
@@VinniePaul91 yeah I wasn't thinking deeply enough lol. I wasn't even thinking about length of track just the speed. 😁
Nice experiment!! I felt like coming back to school days 😁

The Brachistochrone slope!
Red is literally Goliath at SFMM
This was worked out in the 17th century
The slowest also is the neck breaker
This is dangerously close to brain rot.
*what*
Red - 13
Blue - 11
Yellow - 13.7

The ideal shape is a hyperbolic cosine
How do I gamble on this?
Holy shit its a survivorship curve
I am confused, this coaster didn't try to kill me. (Mostly, ignoring red. That may be survivable though)
Marcel Vos flashbacks
I thought for sure it was going to be the yellow one. 🤔
Me too, but I guess as soon as it reached terminal velocity, falling straight downward with no forward motion was wasting time.
Blue all the way baby!!!
i need the science explained
None, there's an elephant in the way 😂
I’d say yellow
The red one
I knew it!
The saying is “The shortest DISTANCE between 2 points is a straight line”. It says it’s the “fastest”.
yes issue is gravity
This is only true for flat spaces. In general this does not hold true. The generalized saying is: "the shortest path between 2 points is the geodesic". Therefore flat earthers don't need the geodesic (joke).
I KNEW IT
Yellow i guess
Blue
I thought red was gonna win…
Before I see it I’ll go yellow
Edit: I was wrong 😢
Looks like the blue car was the fastest and then the yellow car and then the red car
Blue
Yellow I think? 💛
ITS THE BLUE ONE WHAT THE YELLOW ONE IS STEEPER
HuH? WhAT

@@TheOnly2nd Put simply, the yellow car goes faster but the track is longer.
Please put the mod to a better use 😂
This could have bee a much longer video. I would have liked to be on a pov while the all three race. Maybe even a POV from the last row on each track.
Toll
Blue one also doesnt waste as much speed on friction since the forces are in order
Blue 🔵
Blue Dot sighting.

Alle 3 gleich
because planet coaster has terrible physics
First
1st🎉
