Answers:
a) 5400000 J
b) 45.92 m
Explanation:
a) The kinetic energy of an object is given by:
Where:
is the mass of the train
is the speed of the train
Solving the equation:
This is the train's kinetic energy at its top speed
b) Now, according to the Conservation of Energy Law, the total initial energy is equal to the total final energy:
Where:
is the train's initial kinetic energy
is the train's initial potential energy
is the train's final kinetic energy
is the train's final potential energy, where
is the acceleration due gravity and
is the height.
Rewriting the equation with the given values:
Finding :
Average speed is defined as total distance moved in total interval of time
so it is given as
now here is we show distance by "d" and time by"t"
then we will have mathematical expression as follows
