Question: A roller coaster car ( 4 7 1 kg ) moves from A ( 6 . 5 1 m above the ground ) to B

A roller coaster car (471kg) moves fromA(6.51m above the ground) toB(22.0m above the ground). Two non-conservative forces are present: friction does -3.00x 104J of work on the car, and a chain mechanism does +4.46x 104J of work to help the car up a long climb. What is the change, in Joules, J, in the car's kinetic energy KEf- KEofromAtoB? Make sure you get the right sign.
