They size of the wave and the time of a certain wave.
Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2
In this case,
KE = 1/2 * 1569 kg * (15 (m/s))^2 = 176,5 kN
An egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not due to high momentum and acceleration.
<h3>Why an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break?</h3>
An egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not because the momentum and acceleration increases when the egg is thrown downward due to gravity but when we throw an egg in the vertical direction, they move against gravity so the momentum and acceleration decreases.
So we can conclude that an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not due to high momentum and acceleration.

Given that,
Initial velocity , Vi = 0
Final velocity , Vf = 40 m/s
Acceleration due to gravity , a = 9.81 m/s²
Distance can be calculated as,
2as = Vf² - Vi²
2 * 9.81 *s = 40² - 0²
s = 81.55 m
For half height, that is, s = 40.77m
Vf= ??
2as = Vf² - Vi²
2 * 9.81 * 40.77 = Vf² - 0²
Vf² = 800
Vf = 28.28 m/s
Therefore, speed of roller coaster when height is half of its starting point will be 28 m/s.
