You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster that will carry two passengers per car. The car goes up a 13-m-high hill, then descends 18 m to the track's lowest point. You've determined that the spring can be compressed a maximum of 2.5 m and that a loaded car will have a maximum mass of 420 kg. For safety reasons, the spring constant should be 14 % larger than the minimum needed for the car to just make it over the top. A. What spring constant should you specify?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

B. What is the maximum speed of a 330 kg car if the spring is compressed the full amount?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

a.metals can become magnetic if they have many spinning electrons that create magnetic fields.d.only some metals are attracted by magnets; these metals are called ferromagnetic.

d.wrapping an insulated wire around a metal with ferromagnetic properties and applying an electric current.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
