Would lowering point G cause the speed of the coaster car in point H to lower?

• Yes, because more bumps nearer to each other is one of the factors that affect a coaster's speed

• Yes because there will be a drop from point E. Therefore, slows down the speed of the coaster car.

• No because the coaster car is moving at a constant velocity from point A to point H

• No because each line corresponds to an amount of speed, thus changing Point G also does not affect the other points.

Do you think the coaster car would reach point H?

• Yes because point A's high is more than point H

• Yes because the coaster car already stored enough energy in order for it to reach point H

• No because point H is too low from point G. Therefore, the coaster car gets stuck at point G.

• No because the coaster car stops at point F due to the unreachable height of Point G
