- Kindly answer this physics question, please. "A roller coaster is pulled up to a point A, 30.0 m above the ground where it and its screamingoccupants are released from rest. Assuming no friction calculate the speed at the ground level, at apoint 25.0 m above the ground and a point 12.0 m above the ground level.

- MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER PRACTICE ANOTHER In a downhill ski race surprisingly little advantage is gained by getting a running start. This is because the initial kinetic energy is small compared with the gain in gravitational potential energy even on small hills. To demonstrate this, find the final speed and the time taken for a skier who skies 65.0 m along a 25° slope neglecting friction for the following two cases. (Note that this time difference can be very significant in competitive events so it is still worthwhile to get a running start.) (a) starting from rest final speed m/s time taken (b) starting with an initial speed of 2.00 m/s final speed m/s time taken Additional Materials O Readingarrow_forwardA child of mass m = 16 kg slides down a slide of height h = 2.7 m without friction. Let gravitational potential energy be zero at ground level. a)Write an expression for the child's total mechanical energy, E, at the top of the slide, in terms of the variables in the problem and the acceleration due to gravity g. b)Calculate the change in the child's potential energy, ΔU in joules, from the top to the bottom of the slide at ground level (i.e. ΔU = Uground - Utop). c)What is the child's final speed, vf in m/s?arrow_forwardDon't use : Ug= mgh please.arrow_forward
