Explanation Given: Height of point 1 from reference = 32 m Height of point 2 , from reference = 0 m Point 2 is taken as reference point Speed of ball at point 1 ( v 1 ) =1 .30 m/s Distance travelled by roller -coaster = 45 .0 m Friction force =0 .23 ( W r ) W r : Weight of roller coaster FormulaUsed: W N C = Δ K E + Δ P E W N C : Work done by non-conservative forces. Δ K.E : change in kinetic energy Δ P.E : change in potential energy W f = - F f × S F f : Frictional force S : distance travelled Calculation: Potential energy at point 1 = m g h 1 P . E 1 = m × 9.8 × 32 Potential energy at point 2 = m g h 2 P E 2 = m × 9 .8×0 =0 Kinetic energy at point 1 = 1 2 m v 1 2 = 1 2 × m × ( 1.30 ) 2 Kinetic energy at point 2 = 1 2 m v 2 2 = 1 2 × m v 2 2 W N C = - 0
