A toy car (0.50 kg) runs on a frictionless track and has an initial kinetic energy of 2.2 J, as the drawing shows. The numbers beneath each hill give the heights of the hills. Over which of the hills will the car coast?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Height will be equal to 0.4489 m

Explanation:

We have given mass of the toy m = 0.50 kg

Initial kinetic energy K = 2.2 J

We have to fond the height of the hill over which car roast

When car will roast the hill its kinetic energy will be converted into potential energy and at maximum height all kinetic energy will be converted into potential energy

So at maximum height [tex]mgh=K[/tex]

Acceleration due to gravity [tex]g=9.8m/sec^2[/tex]

So 0.50×9.8×h = 2.2

h = 0.4489 m
