Question

How do i find minimum potential energy for a roller coaster

Answer 1

Don't know about the minimum part, but potential energy is calculated using the following formula:

$PE = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} * m * h$

You need to know the planet (or simply the gravity of the planet), the height of the roller coaster car, and the mass of the car.
