Question
A roller coaster car of mass m = 300 kg is released from rest at the top of a 60 m high hill (position A), and rolls with a negligible friction down the hill, through a circular loop of radius 20 m (Positions B,C,and D) and along a horizontal track

Answer:
The principle of conservation of energy and angular momentum
Explanation:
At point A, the car experienced maximum of potential energy
As it moves down the hill, the potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases.
The maximum kinetic energy of the car is needed for the attainment of enough centripetal force to help the car move through the loop without falling .
