Question: A rollercoaster ( 3 6 9 kg ) moves from A ( 8 . 4 1 m above the ground ) to B ( 2

A rollercoaster (369kg) moves from A (8.41m above the ground) to B (21.8m above the ground). Two non-conservative forces are present: friction does -1.23 x 10^4 J work on the car, and a chain mechanism does +4.37 x 10^4 J of work to help the car up a long climb. What is the change in the cars kinetic energy from A to B?
