Question
Chapter 6.1, Problem 1TC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The possibility of designing one roller coaster that does not use any motors to pull the cars uphill after they were released from a high point.
Introduction: Capacity to do work is called as energy. Energy is neither be created nor destroyed. Energy is classified into two types, namely potential energy and kinetic energy. The stored form of energy is called as potential energy and energy of movement is known as kinetic energy.
