When do roller coaster cars reach their maximum kinetic energy


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 314 People


A computational model predicts the maximum kinetic energy a roller coaster car can have given its mass, the speed at the highest point of its journey, and the height of the highest point.

The mass is 250 kg, and the highest point of the journey is at 30 m, where the cart is at rest. What is its maximum kinetic energy?
73,500 J
468,750 J
0 J
112,500 J

Answer:

kinetic energy = 112,500 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass m = 250 kg

Final velocity v = 30 m/s

Find:

kinetic energy

Computation:

kinetic energy = 1/2[mv²]

kinetic energy = 1/2[(250)(30)²]

kinetic energy = 1/2[225,00]

kinetic energy = 112,500 J
