    How to Calculate Energy Required to Accelerate a Roller Coaster on a Flat Track?

    Hey How can i calculate the amount of energy/power required to accelerate my roller coaster on a flat track. Mass=4500 approximate when loaded Time=2.64secs to reach top speed Distance=125m Velocity=47.248ms-1 I know how to calculate it for a track that rises i can use M*G*H/Time but my...
