45mph is the answer if you do the math right
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
Answer: 7750 J
Explanation:
Mechanical energy is potential energy added to kinetic energy.
5000 + 2750 J = 7750 J
