A 1,200kg roller coaster car starts rolling up a slope at a speed of 15m/s. What is the highest point it could reach

Sagot :

Answer: 11.36 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of roller coaster is m=1200 kg

Initial speed of roller coaster is v=15 m/s

Energy at bottom and at the top is same i.e.

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1200\times 15^2=1200\times 9.8\times h\\\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{15^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\\Rightarrow h=11.36\ m[/tex]

Thus, the highest point reach by the roller coaster is 11.36 m
