So the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s so that’s how quickly it will accelerate downwards. You can use a kinematic equation to determine your answer. We know that initial velocity was 19 m/s, final velocity must be 0 m/s because it’s at the very top, and the acceleration is -9.8 m/s. You can then use this equation:
Vf^2=Vo^2+2ax
Plugging in values:
361=19.6x
X=18 m
Potential energy can be calculated using the following rule:
potential energy = mgh where:
m is the mass = 85 kg
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2
h is the height = 4 km = 4000 meters
Substitute in the above equation to get the potential energy as follows:
Potential energy = 85*9.8*4000 = 3332000 joules
what do you need , i mean your help , let me see if i can help
Previous results tell us the speed (v) is given in terms of the coefficient of friction (k) and the radius of the curve (r) as
v = √(kgr)
v = √(0.20·9.8 m/s²·50 m)
= 7√2 m/s ≈ 9.90 m/s
