Determine the maximum vertical height h which the rollercoaster will reach on the second slope. Include an FBD for the rollercoaster while it is ascending (going up) the slope on the right. Use conservation of energy.

 

A rollercoaster car of mass 400 kg starts from rest at the top of a 10 m high slope as shown in the diagram. Assume
there is a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.20 between the rollercoaster & the slope on both sides.
