Homework Statement
A 4.0X10 to the power of 4 kg roller coaster starts from rest at point A. Neglecting friction, calculate the potential energy relative to the ground, its kinetic energy, and its speed at points B, C and D.
Height A=54m
Height B=15m
Height C=47m
Height D=35m
Homework Equations
Eg=mg triangle (height)- Triangle=multiply height
Ek=1/2mv square
The Attempt at a Solution
I found the answer for the total potential energy from A to D which is 5.9X10 to the power of 7 J. I got height, mass, and total potential energy.
I need help finding the kinetic energy and the speed for points B, C, and D with a step by step solution.
