A roller coaster is at the top of a 72m hill and weighs 966N. What is the potential energy of the roller coaster Potential Energy = Weight x HeightWeight = Potential Energy / HeightHeight = Potential Energy / WeightWeight = Mass x 10Mass = Weight / 10

We will have the following:

We will determine the potential energy as follows:


P=966N\cdot72m\Rightarrow P=69552J
