Mechanical energy (ME) is the sum of potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE). When the toy falls, energy is converted from PE to KE, but by conservation of energy, ME (and therefore PE+KE) will remain the same.
Therefore, ME at 0.500 m is the same as ME at 0.830 m (the starting point). It's easier to calculate ME at the starting point because its just PE we need to worry about (but if we wanted to we could calculate the instantaneous PE and KE at 0.500 m too and add them to get the same answer).
At the start:
ME = PE = mgh
ME = 0.900 (9.8) (0.830)
ME = 7.32 J
The time the truck must apply the given force to increase its speed to given value is 5 s.
The given parameters;
- <em>applied force, F = 600 N</em>
- <em>mass of the truck, m = 1,500 kg</em>
- <em>speed of the truck, v = 2 m/s</em>
The force applied to the truck is determined by Newton's second law of motion; <em>which states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.</em>
F = ma

Thus, the time the truck must apply the given force to increase its speed to given value is 5 s.
