QUESTION:

Problem 87HP

A car of mass 1775 kg travels with a velocity of 100 km/h. Find the kinetic energy. Howhigh should the car be lifted in the standard gravitational field to have a potential energy that equals the kinetic energy?

ANSWER:

Solution 87 HP:

Step 1 of 2:-

Here we have to calculate the height where the potential energy will be equal to the kinetic energy.

The mass of the car is, m = 1775 kg.

The speed is, .

After converting the speed into m/s, it will be,

.

The kinetic energy of it will be,

   

    (approximately)
