Explanation:
Potential energy is the energy obtained by an object due to the position of an object. Whereas kinetic energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its motion.
For example, an ball is placed over a building of height h. Then steps followed to covert its potential energy into kinetic energy are as follows.
Step 1: When ball is at placed over a building of height h, then it has only potential energy and no kinetic energy.
Step 2: A man pushes the ball and it moves in the downward direction.
Step 3: When ball starts to move or fall it gains kinetic energy, that is potential energy now becomes equal to 0.
Similarly, on reaching the ground and after bouncing a few times when it stop moving then kinetic energy converts into potential energy.

Answer:
The horse is going at 12.72 m/s speed.
Explanation:
The initial speed of the horse (u) = 3 m/s
The acceleration of the horse (a)= 5 m/
The displacement( it is assumed it is moving in a straight line)(s)= 15.3 m
Applying the second equation of motion to find out the time,



Solving this quadratic equation, we get time(t)=1.945 s, the other negative time is neglected.
Now applying first equation of motion, to find out the final velocity,



v=12.72 m/s
The horse travels at a speed of 12.72 m/s after covering the given distance.
Since we are ignoring air resistance which is a non-conservative force, the potential energy will be completely converted into kinetic energy, resulting in a final kinetic energy of

.
Answer:
a)
b) 
Explanation:
a) The displacement of the first object is 22.5 m, so we can use the next equation:



positive acceleration.
b) Using the same equation we can find the second value of the acceleration:


positive acceleration.
