Please may you help me in this homework.  A roller coaster is at rest on the top of a 30m hill (point A). The car starts to roll down the hill and reaches point B, which is 10m above the ground, then rolls up the track to point C which is 25m above the ground.  A) a student assumes no energy is lost, and solve for how fast the car is moving at point C using energy arguments. What answer did he get? B) if the final speed at C is actually measured with asonar gun and is found to be 2.0m/s, what percentage of the energy was not conserved? ( not conserved) what happened to the energy?
