A truck of mass 1200kg is parked at the top of a hill, 150m high. The truck driver lets the truck run freely down the hill to the bottom. A) What is the maximum velocity that the truck can achieve at the bottom of the hill?

the gravitational potential becomes kinetic energy

1/2 m v^2 = m g h ... v = √(2 g h)
