Answer:
Explanation:
so filling in:
so to 2 sig figs (which is actually not accurate, but oh well...)
KE = 450000 J
If we want to find out how high it will have to travel up a hill so that its PE is the same as the KE at this speed, we set the value for KE = to PE:
450000 = (1000)(9.8)h so

The answer is 570 J. The kinetic energy has the formula of 1/2mV². The total work in this process W= 1/2m(V2²-V1²) = 1/2 * 15.0 * (11.5²-7.50²) = 570 J.
