Answer:
200000 J
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass (m) of roller coaster = 1000 Kg
Velocity (v) of roller coaster = 20 m/s
Kinetic energy (KE) =?
Kinetic energy is simply defined as the energy possess by an object in motion. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
KE = ½mv²
Where
KE => is the kinetic energy.
m =>is the mass of the object
V => it the velocity of the object.
With the above formula, we can obtain the kinetic energy of the roller coaster as follow:
Mass (m) of roller coaster = 1000 Kg
Velocity (v) of roller coaster = 20 m/s
Kinetic energy (KE) =?
KE = ½mv²
KE = ½ × 1000 × 20²
KE = 500 × 400
KE = 200000 J
Therefore, the kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 J.
Hold on and let's discuss this realistically.
Because of gravity, there are two forces between the Earth and me. One draws me toward the Earth. The strength of that force is what I call my "weight". The other force draws the Earth toward me, and has the same strength.
The strength of these forces depends on the masses of the Earth and me. If the strength just tripled, that means that at least one of us just picked up a lot more mass. If the Earth suddenly became three times as massive, then the weight of everything and everybody on it would suddenly triple, and I'm pretty sure it would be the end of all of us before too long.
If it was only MY mass that suddenly tripled, that would mean that I had gone tearing through my house and the neighbour's house, eating everything in sight including the 2 couches, 3 dogs, and 6 TVs. Naturally, just as you would expect, my weight changed from 207 to 621, and my skin is stretched really tight.

Answer: Stars are formed in clouds of gas and dust, known as nebulae. Nuclear reactions at the centre (or core) of stars provides enough energy to make them shine brightly for many years. The exact lifetime of a star depends very much on its size.
