The tower of doom, at glitch gardens in Denver, Colorado, lifts15 people 50m into the air. the engineers assume the average person has a mass of 70 kg
1. How much rider weight does the ride lift into the air? (Neglect the weight of the cars and air resistance.)
2. How much force must the ride produce to do this?
3. How much work does the ride do to lift the riders up to a height of 50 meters?
4. How much work does gravity do as the riders are lifted up to a height of 50 meters?
5. What is the potential energy of a single, average weight person at the top of the ride?
6. If the ride slows from its maximum speed of 30 m/s to zero in 2 seconds, how much power did it take? Hint: utilize the combined mass of all 15 riders
