The Viper roller coaster at Great America starts at a height of 30 m with a velocity of 3 m/sec. A) How fast is the car going when it reaches the ground after that first hill? B) A later hill is only 10 m high. How fast is the car going when it gets to the top of the second hill? Assume there is no friction on the track.

Gayle runs at a speed of 3.20 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is med ocum 15.0 m? Gayle's mass is 49.5 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.45 kg and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg. m/s Need Help? Read It gy
Maria is riding the frictionless slide at the park. She starts sliding from rest from a height of 5.0 m above the ground. She becomes airborne after leaving the slide (it's really fun). See the graphic below and answer the question below. At her highest point, she is travelling 6.0 m/s. What is her height above the ground at this point and how fast is she moving when she reaches the ground?
