__Hershey Park Video Analysis__ __**Storm Runner**__

KE = (1/2)mv^2 = (1/2)(5288)(15.59^2) = 642,619.176 J Velocity = 15.59 m/s Mass = 5288 kg Momentum = mv = (5288)(15.59) = 82,439.92 kgm/s

The assumption was made that the mass of the Storm Runner carts were of equal mass to that of the Sidewinder. This was based on the seating capacity of both rides along with the relatively similar cart designs.

KE = (1/2)mv^2 = (1/2)(5288)(11.45^2) = 346,635.01 J Velocity = 11.45 m/s Mass = 5288 kg Momentum = mv = (5288)(11.45) = 60,547.6 kgm/s
