A 1,000kg roller-coaster car rested at point 1 of height y=60m and started to slide down along a smooth track. Assume the potential energy is zero at the valley (point 2) of the track. How many forces are applied to the car? Please list their names. Do these forces do work? Why? Please give reasons why the energy of the car is conservative along the track. What is the potential energy when the car is at point 1? What is the kinetic energy at point 1?
