Answer:

37.5 m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of energy, potential energy equals kinetic energy hence

mgh=0.5mv^{2}

Therefore

v=\sqrt{2gh}

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, m is the mass of the object, h is the height and v is the speed of the roller coaster

Taking g as 9.81 then

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 71.6}=37.48055496 m/s\approx 37.5 m/s

A 4 kg and 6 kg bowling ball are dropped from the same height at the same time. The two balls strike the ground at the same time
Ray Of Light [21]
The force of gravity on objects is proportional to the mass of each object.

(That's a big part of the reason why, when you eat more and your mass
increases, you weigh more.)

The forces of gravity between the Earth and the 6kg ball are 50% greater
than the forces of gravity between the Earth and the 4kg ball.

(The gravitational forces between the 4kg ball and the 6kg ball, or between
both bowling balls and you, are so small that they may be ignored.)

siniylev [52]

1. When the object is waiting to be released, it is storing a lot of potential energy. When it is released, the potential energy that was once stored is converted into kinetic energy.

How much energy is required to accelerate a golf ball of mass 0.046 kg initially at rest to a speed of 0.75c?
Andrew [12]

The required energy to accelerate the golf ball is  0.232875X10^{16} kg-m/sec^2.

<h2>What is Energy?</h2>
  • Energy, which is observable in the execution of labor as well as in the form of light and heat, is the quantitative quality that is transmitted to an object or to a physical phenomenon in physics.
  • Energy is a preserved resource; according to the rule of conservation of energy, energy can only be transformed from one form to another and cannot be created or destroyed.
  • The joule, which is defined as "the energy transmitted to an object by the effort of moving it a length of one metre against a force of one newton," is the standard measure for power in the International System of Units (SI).

Given that,

E=mc^2

=0.046X0.75^2Xc^2

=0.232875X10^{16} kg-m/sec^2 .
