About this lesson

\(\bold{\sum E_i = \sum E_f:}\) Conservation of mechanical energy of a rollercoaster
You ride the pictured rollercoaster. Starting from rest, the cart receives a small push to send it down the slope. Assume the track is frictionless and there is no air resistance. What is your speed at each point A, B, and C?
