Roller coasters work by utilizing its potential energy. Potential energy is "lost" as the cars lose height, subsequently gaining kinetic energy as revealed by increased speeds (and loop the loop). As the cars of the roller coaster course through the changing heights, it constantly swaps between potential and kinetic energy. Theoretically, this process could be endless. However, energy is continually "lost" because of dissipative forces such as friction and air resistance.

The Mass of the barter and the ball is 3.1kg

Data Given;

  • F = 1.1*10^-9N
  • r = 0.76m
  • G = 6.67*10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-1

Assuming the barter and the ball have equal mass, we can apply gravitational force formula.

<h3>Gravitational Force</h3>

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

This is product of the mass of the two bodies and divided by the square of their distance apart.

Substituting the values into the formula

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2\\}\\m_1 = m_2 = m\\1.1*10^-^9=\frac{6.67*10^-^1^1*m^2}{0.76^2}  \\m^2 = \frac{1.1*10^-^9*0.76^2}{6.67*10^-^1^1} \\m^2 = 9.525\\m = \sqrt{9.525}\\m =3.086=3.1kg

From the calculations above, the mass of the barter and the ball is 3.1kg
