Complete question is:

A 1200 kg car reaches the top of a 100 m high hill at A with a speed vA. What is the value of vA that will allow the car to coast in neutral so as to just reach the top of the 150 m high hill at B with vB = 0 m/s. Neglect friction.

Answer:

(V_A) = 31.32 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

car's mass, m = 1200 kg

h_A = 100 m

h_B = 150 m

v_B = 0 m/s

From law of conservation of energy,

the distance from point A to B is;

h = 150m - 100 m = 50 m

From Newton's equations of motion;

v² = u² + 2gh

Thus;

(V_B)² = (V_A)² + (-2gh)

(negative next to g because it's going against gravity)

Thus;

(V_B)² = (V_A)² - (2gh)

Plugging in the relevant values;

0² = (V_A)² - 2(9.81 × 50)

(V_A) = √981

(V_A) = 31.32 m/s

Where is potential energy in food stored
AlexFokin [52]
The potential energy is stored in the chemical bonds of the food. When those bonds break up during the metabolic processes, the energy is released. After that, that energy is stored in the Adenosine Triphosphate bonds aka ATP. The simplest way to think is to think of food as the tightly bound atoms. When the chemical bonds between those atoms break, the stored energy in that food is released.

How are electromagnetic waves that are produced by oscillating charges and sound waves that are produced by oscillating tuning f
Dovator [93]
They are both created by waves of different forms of energy... sound is the oscillation of other substances, called a medium, while the electromagnetic waves are oscillating through electromagnetic energy.

A tennis player strikes a tennis ball from underneath with her racket. The ball is sent straight up with an initial velocity of
Stels [109]
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
