P.E = mgh
This is the formula for potential energy.
This is where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.
All you have to do is multiply all these numbers together.
Answer : The angle between the string and the horizontal is 30 degrees
Explanation: Imagine this a a triangle where the length of the string (200m) is the hypotenuse and the height of the kite is the opposite side (100m) .
Let the angle between the string and the horizontal be theta.
Now sin (Theta) = opposite side/hypotenuse
= 100/200 = 1/2
Therefore Theta = Sin ⁻¹ ( 1/2 )
Theta = 30 degrees

Hope this helps! :)
-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.
-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.
-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s
-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s
= <span> 3,600 meters .</span>
___________________________________
The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for
distance covered when accelerating from rest:
Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²
= (1/2) · (8 m/s²) · (30 sec)²
= (4 m/s²) · (900 sec²)
= 3600 meters.

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.
When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds.
How does he do that ?
By accelerating at 8 m/s². That's about 0.82 G !
He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph !
He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.
There would be very less percentage loss<span> of the kinetic energy during </span>the conversion<span> to internal energy, assuming that there is less air in the </span>surroundings<span>. Also, the friction will contribute to the conversion where if it is, the percentage loses is negligible.</span>
