The gravitional potential energy, relative to the bottom of the giant drop, in joules, is (9800) times (the height of the drop in meters).
That's the PE of the empty car only, not counting any hapless screaming souls who may be trapped in it at that moment.
Answer:
At point A, the cart has high potential energy. At point b, the cart is pulled down by gravity. At point c, the cart gains its highest kinetic energy. At point d, the cart returns back to the same state but with lower potential energy.
A). The apple has thermal energy, because its temperature is higher
than absolute zero.
It also has chemical energy, because if I eat it, I get a burst of energy
and I become ambitious for a while.
It also has gravitational potential energy, because if I drop it on my foot,
it could bruise one of my piggies.
b). I could increase its potential energy by lifting it higher, like over my head.
c). As long as I'm just holding the apple, it doesn't have any kinetic energy.
I could give it some kinetic energy by throwing it.
Or I could just drop it, and let gravity give it kinetic energy.
First satellite was Sputnik and it was a race then to send satellites!! Everyone starts experimenting how to launch.
first try was on a dog , Laika !! It was send to space as it is long after sputnik is placed in orbit !!
Now you know everyone knows rocket science and the most active are ISRO (India) and NASA (USA) !!
