Answer:

P.E = 424869.2 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 53kg

Height, h = 818m

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8m/s²

To find the potential energy

P.E = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have

P.E = 53*818*9.8

P.E = 424869.2 Joules

Therefore, the potential energy of the roller coaster is 424869.2 Joules.
