Given:
The mass when fully loaded with passengers is m =2078.1 kg
The height is h = 107.1 m
To find the potential energy of the roller coaster.
Explanation:
The potential energy of the roller coaster is given by the formula
[tex]P\mathrm{}E\text{. =mgh}[/tex]Here, g= 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity.
Substituting the values, the potential energy of the roller coaster will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} P\mathrm{}E\text{. = 2078.1}\times9.8\times107.1 \\ =2181132.198\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final Answer: The potential energy of the roller coaster is 2181132.198 N
