Question
**Problem 3:**

In the roller coaster shown in the figure, the height of the first hill is **25.9 meters**, and the height of the second hill is **14.4 meters**. The track of the roller coaster is frictionless.

---

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram depicts a side view of a roller coaster track with two hills. The first hill has a height labeled as \( h_1 \) and is 25.9 meters tall. At the peak of this hill, there is a cart with an unknown velocity (\( v = ? \)). The second hill has a height labeled as \( h_2 \) and measures 14.4 meters.

---

If the roller coaster car’s velocity is **21 m/s**, what was its velocity at the top of the first hill?
