- 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.

- C7 17.) A 1 kg block (block A) is released from rest at the top of a 20 m long frictionless ramp that is 7 m high. At the same time, an identical block (block B) is released next to the ramp so that it drops straight down the same 7 m. Find the values for each of the following for the blocks just before they reach ground level. (a) gravitational potential energy Block A ______________ J Block B ______________ J (b) kinetic energy Block A ____________________ J Block B ____________________ J (c) speed Block A ____________________ m/s Block B ____________________ m/s (d) momentum Block A _______________________ kg·m/s Block B _______________________ kg·m/sarrow_forward1. A student of mass 40 kg caries a bag weighing 5000g from the ground floor to his class on the first floor that is 700 cm high. The work done by the boy is = 2. The above diagram shows a cyclist at different positions as she cycles over a humpback bridge. The cyclist has maximum Kinetic Energy at • and maximum Potential energy at 3. A body moves a distance of 15 m along a straight line under the action of 25 N force. If work done is 45 J, then angle between the force and direction of motion of the body will be = 4. How much is the work done in pulling up a block of wood weighing 300 N for a length of 300 cm on a smooth plane inclined at an angle of 35° with the horizontal? Answer =arrow_forwardWhen a roller coaster is at the top of a steep hill, its potential energy is maximum. When it hurdles down the slope and comes to the bottom, the potential energy reduces greatly. Hence we can say that the law of conservation of energy is not valid here since energy is destroyed. a) True b) Falsearrow_forward
