Question

Use the diagram and the information given to answer the following questions:

The  diagram shows a roller coaster of mass m=200 kg starting at Point A with a speed of v = 4.00 m/s and a height h = 30m.

 

There is no work being done by a non-conservative force.

 

 

 

 

a.Considering the ground (the upper surface of the shaded region in the diagram) as h=0, what is the cart’s gravitational potential energy at Point A,What is the cart’s kinetic energy ay Point A? and What is the cart’s Total Mechanical Energy at Point A?

 

b.Using Conservation of Energy, determine the cart’s kinetic energy at Point B? and What is the cart’s speed at Point?

 

c.Use Conservation of Energy to find the cart’s speed at Point C? and also Use Conservation of Energy to determine how high up the slope at Point D the cart would reach before stopping.
