60 kg | 10m 80kg H A section of a roller coaster track assumed to be frictionless is shown with two roller coaster cars. The first car has a mass of 60.0 kg and starts from rest at a height of 10.0 m above ground level. The second roller coaster car has a mass of 80.0 kg and is at rest at the bottom of the track The two cars collide and stick together to each other and together they travel up the track and reach a maximum height H. e) If the collision between the two cars lasted for 0.020 seconds what was the average force which car 1 exerted on car 2 during this time period? Answer in Newtons.

A section of a roller coaster track assumed to be frictionless is shown with two roller coaster
cars. The first car has a mass of 60.0 kg and starts from rest at a height of 10.0 m above ground
level. The second roller coaster car has a mass of 80.0 kg and is at rest at the bottom of the track.
The two cars collide and stick together to each other and together they travel up the track and
reach a maximum height H.
e) If the collision between the two cars lasted for 0.020 seconds what was the average force
which car 1 exerted on car 2 during this time period? Answer in Newtons.
