Concept Introduction:
Energy that is associated with a moving object is known as kinetic energy. The energy that is possessed by an object due to its location that is related to a specific reference is known as potential energy. Kinetic energy of any object is expressed by the equation shown below.
Where
Potential energy for an object that is located above the ground level can be expressed by an equation given below.
Where
Explanation of Solution
The car has a mass of
Kinetic energy of the car is calculated as shown below.
Total energy at initial level is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy. This can be calculated as shown.
Total energy at apex is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy. This can be calculated as shown.
Maximum height the car can reach is calculated as shown below.
Therefore, the height the car can reach is calculated as
