Answer:
7056 kJ
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a ship roller coaster is 36,000 kg.
It reaches a height of 20 m off the ground
We need to find the gravitational potential energy does it have. The formula for the gravitational potential energy ios given by :
E = mgh
g is acceleration due to gravity
E = 36,000 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 20 m
= 7056000 J
or
E = 7056 kJ
So, it will have 7056 kJ of gravitational potential energy.
Answer:
9.4 m/s
Explanation:
According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by external forces on a system is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system.
Therefore we can write:

where in this case:
W = -36,733 J is the work done by the parachute (negative because it is opposite to the motion)
is the initial kinetic energy of the car
is the final kinetic energy
Solving,

The final kinetic energy of the car can be written as

where
m = 661 kg is its mass
v is its final speed
Solving for v,

The answer is b. Negative terminal.
