There are a couple of things happening while the coaster goes from the top of the hill to the bottom:

The coaster loses gravitational potential energy.
The coaster's loss in potential energy becomes its gain in kinetic energy.
The coaster's gain in kinetic energy causes it to speed up.
Maybe the coaster is also losing some of its newly gained kinetic energy to friction due to contact between the coaster's internal components and air resistance.

The mass of the ion is 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

The electrical energy given to the ion Vq will be changed into kinetic energy $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

As the ion moves with velocity v in a magnetic field B then the magnetic Lorentz force Bqv will be balanced by centrifugal force $\frac{mv^2}{r}$ .

So,

$Vq = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

and

$Bqv = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Right from these eliminating v, we can derive

$m = \frac{B^2r^2q}{2V}$

On substituting the value, we get:

$m = \frac{(0.4)^2X (0.305)^2 X1.602X 10^-^1^9}{2X 2000}\\\\$

m = 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg.

Answer:

Potential energy is stored energy and the energy of position––gravitational energy. There are several forms of potential energy. Electrical Energy is the movement of electrical charges. Everything is made of tiny particles called atoms.
