1.47x10^5 Joules
The gravitational potential energy will be the mass of the object, multiplied by the height upon which it can drop, multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration. And since it started at the top of a 60.0 meter hill, halfway will be at 30.0 meters. So
500 kg * 30.0 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 147000 kg*m^2/s^ = 147000 Joules.
Using scientific notation and 3 significant figures gives 1.47x10^5 Joules.

A horizontal force in used to pull a 5 kilogram cart at a constant speed of 5 meters per second across the floor as shown in the

ddd [48]

A cart is pulled by horizontal force such that it moves with constant velocity

So here since velocity is constant we can say that its acceleration will be ZERO

now here for zero acceleration we can say

$F_{net} = 0$
