Kinetic because u are moving around a lot!
The Gravitational PE (U) depends on three things: the object’s mass (m), its height (h), and gravitational acceleration (g), which is 9.81 m/s^2 on Earth’s surface.
so U = mgh = 9.81mh on earth
mass of the car = 50.0 grams = 0.05kg
height, h:
Hill 1 = 90.0 cm = 0.9m,
Hill 2 = 65.0 cm = 0.65m,
Hill 3 = 20.0 cm = 0.2m
substitute into eqn U = mgh
U @ top of Hill 1 = 0.05*9.81*0.9 = 0.4415J
U @ top of Hill 2 = 0.05*9.81*0.65 = 0.3188J
U @ top of Hill 3 = 0.05*9.81*0.2 = 0.0981J
difference in Gravitational Potential Energy from the top of Hill 1 to the top of Hill 3 = 0.4415 - 0.0981
= 0.3434J where J is the unit for energy, Joules
Inertia is that quantity which depends solely upon mass. The more mass, the more inertia. Momentum is another quantity in Physics which depends on both mass and speed.
