Answer:

Ep = 3924 [J]

Explanation:

To calculate this value we must use the definition of potential energy which tells us that it is the product of mass by the acceleration of gravity by height.

E_{p}=m*g*h\\

where:

Ep = potential energy [J] (units of Joules)

m = mass = 40 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 10 [m]

E_{p} =40*9.81*10\\E_{p} = 3924 [J]

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

11 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are two forces acting on the car:

Weigh force mg pulling down

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the incline

Sum the forces in the +y direction:

∑F = ma

N cos θ − mg = 0

N = mg / cos θ

Sum the forces in the radial (+x) direction:

∑F = ma

N sin θ = m v² / r

Substitute and solve for v:

(mg / cos θ) sin θ = m v² / r

g tan θ = v² / r

v = √(gr tan θ)

Plug in values:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 48 m × tan 15°)

v = 11.2 m/s

Rounded to 2 significant figures, the maximum speed is 11 m/s.
