- Hi there!! My question is bolded below :) It is a multiple choice question, so I have also listed every possible answer. A person with a mass of 42kg starts from rest at position A, as shown, and then slides down to positions B, C, and D. Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the person at A. 412 J 672 J 4.2 kJ 6.6 kJ Thanks!arrow_forwardQuestion 8 This graph shows different types of energy for a roller coaster car that starts at the top of a large hill and goes down to its lowest point at 6 s.

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_forward

- Review A Bookmark Stewart, Justin Physics: Unit 3- Energy / 1 of 4/ Activity 1 Task: Potential & Kinetic Energy Activity 1 of 5 At what point in this roller coaster does the roller coaster have the most gravitational potential energy? A roller coaster starts from rest at point A. The mass of the cart with O A. Point A riders is 900 kg. The motor of the roller coaster does work to get the car up the hill to point B. From point B, the car relies on energy transformations to make it through the rest of the shown portions of the roller coaster. [g=9.8 m/s²] B. Point B C. Point C O D. Point D Aarrow_forwardKaren and Randy are playing with a toy car and track. They set up the track on the floor as shown in the figure below, where the apparatus on the far left is used to launch the car forward by pressing down on the top portion. After the car is launched, it follows the track and continues upward, leaving the track. If the car has a mass of 127 g and it reaches a maximum vertical height of 2.90 m above the floor, what was the speed of the car while it was moving along the floor? Ignore the effects of friction and air resistance. m/sarrow_forwardA roller coaster car travels with a speed of 2.29 m/s at point A, located 10.7m above the ground. Calculate how fast the roller coaster is moving when it reaches point D, 10.7m below point A. Assume the roller coaster is ideal and loses no energy to friction.arrow_forward
