A 650.0 kg roller coaster car is at rest at the top of a 75 m hill. It rolls down the first drop to a height of 28 m. When it travels to the top of the second hill, it is moving at 23.5 m/s. It then rolls down the second hill until it is at ground level.

Part 1: Draw a picture of the roller coaster drop.

Part 2: Calculate the kinetic and potential energy at the top and bottom of each hill.
