KE = 1/2mV2

KE = 1/2(30 kg)( 5m/s)2

= 750 joules of kinetic energy

Kinetic Energy = (1/2)(m)(v2) where m=mass of object, v=velocity of object

Substituting values into the equation.

Kinetic Energy = (1/2)(45)(10)2 = 2250 J

The conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy demonstrates the what?

mechanical energy


What type of energy does a rollercoaster use?

potential when it starts ,then kinetic when it starts to move ,then lights if the roller coaster has lights ,then heat because of the friction between the tracks of the roller coaster and the actual car and it also has heat because every thing has heat energy no matter what


Where is the greatest amount of potential and kinetic energy in a roller coaster?

If it is a rollercoaster that has a first drop hill, the roller coaster has the greatest kinetic energy at the bottom of that drop. If it is magnetically launched, the kinetic energy is probably greatest immediately after the launch. However, there are cases where these statements may not be true. (i.e. a drop right after a magnetic launch)The energy is the greatest at the bottom of a drop, before some is translated back into potential energy as the car climbs the next rise.


What are the main energy transfer sthat happen as a roller coaster cart travels along the track from the start of the ride to the end?

At the top of the hill the roller coaster car has potential energy and no kinetic energy but as the car goes down the hill the kinetic energy increases and the potential energy decreases. This pattern continues at every top and every bottom of each hill. A roller coaster track is built with each hill getting a little smaller each time as the car looses energy over each hill due to air resistance and friction. As the car travels along the tracks some of the kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy because of the friction.

In energy transformations when a roller coaster is at the top of the hill the kinetic energy is?

Kinetic energy comes from movement. If the roller coaster is moving at the top of the hill, it has kinetic energy. if the rollercoaster isn't moving then it has potential energy.
