Question: Jessie ( m = 5 6 . 2 kg ) is traveling at a speed of 1 2 . 8 m / s at the

Jessie (m=56.2 kg) is traveling at a speed of 12.8 m/s at the top of a 19.5m high roller coaster loop. a. assuming negligible losses of energy due to friction and air resisitance, determine Jessie's total mechanical energy at the bottom of the loop (h=0m)(ans.=1.53x10^4J) b. determine Jessie's speed at the bottom of the loop (ans.=23.4 m/s) c. what force does Jessie feel from her seat at the bottom of the loop? (ans.=3707 N)
