Question
A Roller Coaster train and its passengers have a combined mass of 1375 kg. The train comes over the top of the first hill on a roller coaster, 45 m above the ground with a velocity of 10.5 m/s.
a) The train goes down the hill on to another hill 18 m above the ground. What is its velocity on top of the second hill.
b) What will be its velocity when it reaches the ground level from the top of the second hill.
