Question

In the real world could the roller coaster car reach the top of the second hill if the second hill were as high as the firsts hill

Answer 1

In the real world where some energy is transferred to the environment as heat and sound the rollercoaster will not reach the top of a second hill if identical height.

Answer 2

Answer: No, it couldn’t. Energy leaves the system in the form of heat as the roller coaster cars travel from the top of one hill to the next. The vehicles have less total energy, so the potential energy at the top of the second hill must also be less. The cars wouldn’t be able to achieve the height of the first hill.
