A bike rider approaches a hill at a speed of 3.5 m/s. The mass of the bike and rider together is 77 kg. The rider coasts up the hill. Assuming that there is no friction, at what height will the bike come to rest?
0.62 m
A 75-kg rock climber first climbs 25 m to the top of a quarry, then descends 75 m from the top to the bottom of the quarry. If the initial height is the reference level, what is the potential energy of the system (climber plus Earth) at the top?
What is 18000 J?
In an accident on a slippery road, a car with mass 800.0 kg, moving at 12.0 m/s, smashes into the rear end of a car with mass 1250 kg moving at 8.0 m/s in the same direction. How much kinetic energy was lost in the collision if the wrecked cars lock together?
