Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You have given us a very weird question. Things do not mesh
If the mass is 500 kg and sits 25 m above the lowest spot on the track, the potential energy is
PE = mgh = 500(9.8)(25) = 122500 Joules,
not the reported 61250 Joules
So either the Joules is incorrect or the mass is supposed to be 250 kg.
In either case, in the absence of friction, the potential energy will convert to kinetic energy.
½mv² = mgh
v = √2gh
which does not involve the use of either Joules or kilograms.
Maximum velocity when starting from rest is
v = √(2(9.8)25) = √490 = 22.135943...
v = 22 m/s
