An 800 kg roller coaster car starts at point A, then travels 125 ft at 40.0 below the horizontal to point B
(a) Taking point B to be the level where the gravitational potential energy of the car-Earth system is zero, what is the potential energy (in 1) of the system when the car is at points A and B, and the change in
potential energy (in 1) as the coaster moves between these points?
at point A
at point B
change in potential energy
(b) Repeat part (a), setting the zero configuration with the car at point A
at point A
at point B
change in potential energy
