The vertical distance the roller coster cart of mass moved down is given by :
h1-h2= 29.2m-10.1m = 19.1m
There is no friction. We assume that the cart is moving only due to the gratational acceleration.
Let the acceleration due to gravity 9m/s^2 and the velocity of the cart V, the relation between is as follows:
v^2 = 2g(h1-h2)=2*9.81*19.1
v=sqrt(2*9.81*19.1)=19.3583m/s is the downward speed
