Potential energy is energy stored due to its position. Thermal energy is energy released as heat
Answer:
The first part can be solved via conservation of energy.

For the second part,
the free body diagram of the car should be as follows:
- weight in the downwards direction
- normal force of the track to the car in the downwards direction
The total force should be equal to the centripetal force by Newton's Second Law.

where
because we are looking for the case where the car loses contact.

Now we know the minimum velocity that the car should have. Using the energy conservation found in the first part, we can calculate the minimum height.

Explanation:
The point that might confuse you in this question is the direction of the normal force at the top of the loop.
We usually use the normal force opposite to the weight. However, normal force is the force that the road exerts on us. Imagine that the car goes through the loop very very fast. Its tires will feel a great amount of normal force, if its velocity is quite high. By the same logic, if its velocity is too low, it might not feel a normal force at all, which means losing contact with the track.
Bulimia nervosa is similar in many ways because the individual is obsessed with their weight and wants to continuously lose weight to achieve their idea of a 'perfect' body shape. But with bulimia, there are periods of binging and purging. This means that the individual with bulimia may go through a period where they eat an excessive amount of food and then purge by using exercise, medications or vomiting to get rid of the food.

Answer:
B. 80 m/s²
Explanation:
F = ma
a = F/m = (40 N)/(0.5 kg) = 80 m/s²
