The correct answer is 17.24 m/s. You get the answer by subtracting the two heights of the tracks which are 36.5 and 10.8 m, and the answer is 25.7. Since you already know the height at which the kinetic energy will be coming from, you then divide the amount of weight the roller coaster has to the distance it needs to travel in order for you to determine the speed of the car. So that is, 4,357 kg and 25.7 m and the answer is 169 kg/m. Dividing it to the earth's gravity of 9.8 m/s you'll get 17.24 m/s.
