    How Do You Calculate Kinetic Energy and Velocity on a Roller Coaster?

    PE = mgh KE = 1/2mv² I don't get how I'm supposed to find KE without knowing velocity, or without knowing T to find velocity (V = d/t). EDIT: Yeah, each hill starts and ends at ground level, sorry for not including that.

    How Do You Calculate Kinetic Energy and Velocity on a Roller Coaster?

    okay, there is a roller coaster with 2 hills.. this is what I know: 1st hill height: 40m 2nd hill height: 25m mass of coaster: 500kg I was asked to find out the PE at top of hill #1, I did that and got 196,000J Now I have to findthe KE at the bottom of hill #1, as well as finding the...
