Gradually slow down to a safe speed well before entering the curve.
Potential energy = (weight) x (height)
After the car has been raised 2.5 meters, it has
(11,000) x (2.5) = 27,500 Joules
MORE potential energy than it had before it was lifted.
That's the energy that has to come from the work you do to lift it.
Since no mechanical process is ever 100% efficient, the work required
to accomplish this task is <em>at least 27,500 joules</em>.
The chemical energy in Jay's body, to kinetic energy in the car
You sure wouldn't want something like cm/s or (yikes cm/hr). You want a reasonable number for sports usually between 0 and 100
Km / hour would be a good choice.
The next town to where I live is 25 km away. On a good day, I can make it there in about 3/4 of an hour.
Speed = 25 km / 0.75 hour = 33.3 km/hour. That's actually a little fast most of the time. But you should understand what I mean.
