Scenario: You've got chosen to become the beta tester for one futuristic disney world roller coaster. The ride is just a single-person thrill ride with a 25.0 meter drop and a plunger/piston system that stops the ride. A 250 kg water cylinder is attached to the plunger/piston. The cart weighs 75.0 kg and begins at the top of the circuit at a standstill. You must combine your weight to the cart's overall weight to get the whole mass of the cart during the ride. Friction in the wheels and axles produces 2750 J of thermal and sound energy combined when the cart passes along the track, according to research. The device's plunger/piston at the bottom is created to stop the cart at a max acceleration of 5.00 g's (49.0 m/s2). Question #1: At the peak of the ride, the cart with you inside starts from a stop. Calculate the cart's gravitational potential energy with you as the sole occupant at the top of the ride.
