A car of a roller coaster has a total mass of 1000 kg including the passenger. At position A (the top of the first incline), it cruises at 2m/s.

Calculate its velocity at position C at the top of the second incline which is 5 m below the top of the first incline, if there are no losses due to friction on the track or air drag.
Calculate the average resistance force (due to friction and drag) between points A and C if its speed at C is 8m/s. The total length of the track between points A and C is 45m.

A roller-coaster track is being designed so that the roller-coaster car can safely make it around the circular vertical loop of radius R = 24.5 m on the frictionless track. The loop is immediately after the highest point in the track, which is a height h above the bottom of the loop. What is the minimum value of h for which the roller-coaster car will barely make it around the vertical loop?

-A roller coaster cart of mass (m1=127 kg) initially sits at rest on a track. Once the motor is activated, the cart is accelerated forward (across level ground) until it reaches the bottom of a giant circular loop with a radius of (r1=17.5 m). At this point, the motor is turned off and the cart must "coast" for the remainder of the ride. Assume the track is frictionless and ignore air resistance. At the top of the loop, what is...

1) A roller coaster car on the leveled portion of a track is moving at a speed of 35 m/s, heading toward a hump. Based on the principle of conservation of energy, predict what is the velocity of the car on the top of the hump if the lost of energy due to friction and air resistance is negligiable. The highest point of the hump is 14 above the leveled track.
