Why are the wheels on a roller coaster hot after a ride. (I know it’s due to friction but I need more of a detailed answer).

Also why could someone’s glasses fall off during a roller coaster ride (which law of motion).
Finally how do carousels accelerate?

2 someone's glasses could fall of because of the inertia
roller coaster is in motion but your glasses are opposing and resisting that motion due to inertia....

1 there is a possibility that electrons move from wheels to the rail and vice versa which also means that it is producing some kind of electrical energy

3 question can't answer
