In an amusement park ride a cart of mass 300kg and carrying four passengers each of mass 60kg is dropped from a vertical height of 120m along a frictionless path that leads into a loop-the-loop machine of radius 30m. The cart then enters a straight stretch from A to C, where friction brings it to rest after a distance of 40m.

Question Image

a. Determine the velocity of the cart at A.
