At the top of the hill, he has 2800J of potential energy. At the bottom of the hill, when he is going the fastest, his kinetic energy measures 2650J. Which statement below is true? (AKS 7a/DOK 2) 4. A. The total amount of energy at the bottom of the hill cannot equal the amount at the top, because some of the energy is destroyed. B. The total amount of energy at the bottom of the hill cannot equal the amount at the top, because some of the energy is gained. C. The total amount of energy at the bottom is equal to the amount at the top, but he gained some energy as he traveled due to a higher speed. D. The total amount of energy at the bottom is equal to the amount at the top, but some energy was converted into other forms due to friction.arrow_forward
- Please use the information in the picture to answer the question: How fast must it have leapt from the water to reach a such a great height and speed. If you stand at the bow where you can reach up to a height of 3m above the water. You can only catch a fish if it is traveling under 8.5m/s when it reaches you. Will you be able to catch the fish? Find the speed of the fish at your location. Hint: use energy conservation.arrow_forwardThe energy needed to increase the speed of a certain car from 22 m/s to 54 m/s is 2900 kJ.
