Answer:
A. potential energy is 258720 Joule
Explanation:
A.Gravitational potential energy is: PE = m × g × h
velocity = 15.33 m/s when the car reaches the bottom of the hill.
where, m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height from the bottom of hill.
The potential energy is : m×g×h
=(2200×9.8×12)
=258720 Joule
B. at the bottom of the hill, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy so PE at top = KE at bottom
kinetic energy= ()
where v = velocity
m= mass
therefore, v=
or, v=
or, v=15.33 m/s
Sum of all forces = mass * acceleration
Ft= tension force
Fw= force of gravity (Fw= mass* acceleration of gravity which is 9.8 this only applies to force of gravity)
Ft- Fw = 0 (there is no acceleration)
Ft = Fw
Ft= m*g
Ft= 0.250kg*9.8m/s
Ft= 2.45N
The number of protons in an atom is known as the atomic number
