Answer:

Potential Energy is the energy that is waiting to be released like at the top of the roller coaster, Kinetic energy is the energy that is moving the rollercoaster downhill fast.

Three Laws:

The rollercoaster will rest at the top, and then the gears will make it move downhill, and make it stop.

The gears make the rollercoaster move, and in reaction, it pushes back on the gears.

Answer:

Newton's law has every thing to do with roller coasters.

in the case that you have given, the first law states that any object when given an force will keep moving until there is no opposing force acting upon the moving object. when the roller coaster is moving the opposing force here can be the frictional force that is acting upon the coaster that is the breaking system as the train comes to the station to stop a the end.

to summarize

Newton's first law: any object will keep moving until there is an opposing force acting upon it

the opposing force in the coaster is the breaking system..

Inessa [10]

For this problem, we would be using the formula: Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad
where:
Vf = 400m/s
Vi = 300m/s
a = ?
d = 4.0km
= 4000m

400^2 = 300^2 + 2a4000
a = [ 160000 - 90000 ] / 8000
a = 8.75m/s^2
rounding it off to 2 significant figures, will give us 8.8 m/s^2.
