Answer:
vB = 15.4 m/s
Explanation:
Principle of conservation of energy:
Because there is no friction the mechanical energy is conserve
ΔE = 0
ΔE : mechanical energy change (J)
K : Kinetic energy (J)
U: Potential energy (J)
K = (1/2)mv²
U = m*g*h
Where :
m: mass (kg)
v : speed (m/s)
h : hight (m)
Ef - Ei = 0
(K+U)final - (K+U)initial =0
(K+U)final = (K+U)initial
((1/2)mv²+m*g*h)final = ((1/2)mv²+m*g*h)initial , We divided by m both sides of the equation:
((1/2)vB² + g*hB = (1/2 )vA²+ g*hA
(1/2) (vB)² + (9.8)*(14.7) = 0 + (9.8)(26.8 )
(1/2) (vB)² = (9.8)(26.8 ) - (9.8)*(14.7)
(vB)² = (2)(9.8)(26.8 - 14.7)
(vB)² = 237.16
vB = 15.4 m/s : speed of the cart at B
