Gravitational into kinetic exercises 1
a 400 gram cart on a roller coaster.

1) A 100Kg cart sits 100m above the ground. It rolls off the edge and drops to ground level (point "A") along a roller coaster track. (Assume no friction or air resistance and no energy loss from the system)
a) Calculate the kinetic and gravitational potential energies of the cart at point "A"?

Solution

b) What is the gravitational potential and kinetic energies of the cart at "B"?

Solution

c) What is the speed of the cart at "B"

Solution

d) What is the speed of the cart at "C" assuming that "C" is at ground level.

Solution
