I believe there are two things which we asked to find here:

1. its speed just as it left the ground

2. find its maximum height

 

Solutions:

1. We use the formula:

ΔKE = - ΔPE

where KE is kinetic energy = ½ mv^2, and PE is potential energy = m g h, Δ = change

Therefore:

½ m (v2^2 – v1^2) = m g (h1 – h2)

at initial point, point 1: h1 = 0, v1 = ?

at final point, point 2: h2 = 15.4 m, v2 = 24.2 m/s

½ (24.2^2 – v1^2) = 9.8 (0 – 15.4)

585.64 – v1^2 = -301.84

-v1^2 = 887.48

v1 = 29.8 m/s

So the rock was travelling at 29.8 m/s as it left the ground.

 

2. The maximum height (hmax) reached is calculated using the formula:

v1^2 = 2 g hmax

Rewriting in terms of hmax:

hmax = v1^2 / 2 g

hmax = (29.8)^2 / (2 * 9.8)

hmax = 45.3 m

Therefore the rock reached a maximum height of 45.3 meters.

A roller coaster travels down a 120 m track in 12.5 seconds how fast does the roller coaster go
KIM [24]

Answer:

9.6m/s

Explanation:

Using the equation S=d/t where s=speed, d=distance, and t=time

plug in the known variables

S=120m/12.5s

S=9.6m/s

If a cart of a roller coaster has a mass of 250kg and is at a height of 14 meters. What is the cart's potential energy?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

3430000 J

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is PE=mgh.

M being the mass, g being the force of gravity, and h being the height.

First thing you want to do is convert 250 kg to g (grams).

From there you get 25000g and you have to multiply that by 14m and 9.8m/s^2 (the force of gravity is constant, at least on earth).
