The data given in the bar graph is valid because it follows the law of conservation of energy, since the GPE at top of 2nd hill plus KE at top of 2nd hill equals KE at bottom of 1st hill.
<h3>What is law of conservation of energy?</h3>
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.
Based on the law of conservation of energy, kinetic energy of a roller coaster can be converted into potential energy of the roller coaster and vice versa.
ΔK.E = ΔP.E
where;
- ΔK.E is change in kinetic energy
- ΔP.E is change in potential energy
The kinetic energy of the coaster is greatest at the bottom of the hill, as the coaster moves upward, the kinetic energy decreases and will be converted into potential energy. The potential energy of the coaster increases as the coaster moves up the hill and will become maximum at the highest point of the hill.
From the given data;
GPE at top of 2nd hill + KE at top of 2nd hill = KE at bottom of 1st hill

<span>10 inches
You are at risk of serious injury if you sit less than 10 inches away from the steering wheel, because of the speed and force the airbag deploys at. This is also part of the reason why driving instructors now instruct you to hold the steering wheel from the lower parts, rather than the top, which can cause your thumbs to break if the air bag deploys.</span>
False. Since the forces are pulling in equal and opposite directions, the net force is 0.
U = 0, initial upward speed
a = 29.4 m/s², acceleration up to 3.98 s
a = -9.8 m/s², acceleration after 3.98s
Let h₁ = the height at time t, for t ≤ 3.98 s
Let h₂ = the height at time t > 3.98 s
Motion for t ≤ 3.98 s:
h₁ = (1/2)*(29.4 m/s²)*(3.98 s)² = 232.854 m
Calculate the upward velocity at t = 3.98 s
v₁ = (29.4 m/s²)*(3.98 s) = 117.012 m/s
Motion for t > 3.98 s
At maximum height, the upward velocity is zero.
Calculate the extra distance traveled before the velocity is zero.
(117.012 m/s)² + 2*(-9.8 m/s²)*(h₂ m) = 0
h₂ = 698.562 m
The total height is
h₁ + h₂ = 232.854 + 698.562 = 931.416 m
Answer: 931.4 m (nearest tenth)
