Fill in the energy chart using the picture and the clues below.
Keep in mind, the Total energy is equal to the same thing for all columns and the heat energy will always increase.
Use g = 10 m/s^2
The mass of the roller coaster is 1,000 kg.
There is 500,000 J of braking HE at point 'J’ which is the end of the ride.
There is no KE and no HE given off at point 'A'.
The height of 'B' is ½ of 'A!'
Between 'A' & 'B' there are 50,000 J of heat
'B' has half the KE of 'C' & twice the KE of 'l'
'B' & 'G' have the same speed
'B' has twice the speed as 'D'
'D', 'F', & 'H' have the same KE
'F' has 5 times more heat energy built up than 'B'
'H' has ½ the PE of 'F'
'D' has as much height as 'F' plus 'H'
Follow the pattern to find the heat energy at 'E'
