Given:
The mass of the roller coaster is m = 1778.6 kg
The velocity of the roller coaster is v = 24.5 m/s
To find the kinetic energy of the roller coaster.
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the kinetic energy is
[tex]K\mathrm{}E\text{. =}\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]Substituting the values, the kinetic energy will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} K\mathrm{}E\text{. =}\frac{1}{2}\times1778.6\times(24.5)^2 \\ =533802.325\text{ J} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final Answer: The kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 533802.325 J.
