Explain why the top of the loop cannot be the same height as (or higher than) the top of the first hill. Assume the roller coast
er and its surroundings are close to a closed system. Use what you know about energy transformations and the effects of friction within a closed system to write your answer.
Passage
Examine this diagram of a roller-coaster track. The very top of the first hill (point B) is higher than the very top of the loop (point D). After the cars reach point B, this roller coaster needs no additional energy to complete its trip.

Aaron's car is moving at speed of 30 m/s
His reaction time is given as 0.7 s
but when he is tired the reaction time is doubled
Now we need to find the distance covered by his car when he is tired during the time when he react to apply brakes
So here since during this time speed is given as constant so we can say that distance covered can be product of speed and time
So here we can use
So the car will move to 42 m during the time when he apply brakes
