Answer: 11.36 m
Explanation:
Given
Mass of roller coaster is m=1200 kg
Initial speed of roller coaster is v=15 m/s
Energy at bottom and at the top is same i.e.
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1200\times 15^2=1200\times 9.8\times h\\\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{15^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\\Rightarrow h=11.36\ m[/tex]
Thus, the highest point reach by the roller coaster is 11.36 m
