- (b)(i)1A leisure-park ride consists of a carriage that moves along a railed track. Part of the track lies in a vertical plane and follows an arc XY of a circle of radius 13m, as shown in [Figure 2.1]. The mass of the carriage is 580 kg. At point X, the carriage has velocity 22ms⁻¹ in a horizontal direction. The velocity of the carriage then decreases to 12ms⁻¹ in a vertical direction at point Y. For the carriage moving from X to Y 1. show that the decrease in kinetic energy is 9.9 x 10⁴J,[2]

Part of the track lies in a vertical plane and follows an arc XY of a circle of radius 13m, as shown in [Figure 2.1]. The mass of the carriage is 580 kg. At point X, the carriage has velocity 22ms⁻¹ in a horizontal direction. The velocity of the carriage then decreases to 12ms⁻¹ in a vertical direction at point Y. Use your answers in (b)(i) and (b)(ii) to calculate the average resistive force acting on the carriage as it moves from X to Y.[2]

Part of the track lies in a vertical plane and follows an arc XY of a circle of radius 13m, as shown in [Figure 2.1]. The mass of the carriage is 580 kg. At point X, the carriage has velocity 22ms⁻¹ in a horizontal direction. The velocity of the carriage then decreases to 12ms⁻¹ in a vertical direction at point Y. Describe the change in the direction of the linear momentum of the carriage as it moves from X to Y.[1]
