The illustration shows a rollercoaster and indicates four different positions the car might be at as it moves along the track. A
1 answer:
Answer:
Point a
Explanation:
The potential energy of an object is given by :
P = mgh
m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height above ground level.
Potential energy is directly proportional to the position of an object.
In the attached figure, the maximum height is shown at point (a). It means it will have maximum potential energy at a as compared to b,c and d.

Answer:
a) 29.36 m
b) 2.44 s
c) 2.57 s
d) 25.117 m/s
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity = 24 m/s
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
b)
Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 2.44 seconds
a)
The highest point reached by the ball above its release point is 29.36 m
c) Total height is 3+29.35 = 32.35 m
The ball reaches the ground 2.57 seconds after reaching the highest point
d)
The ball will hit the ground at 25.2117 m/s
