Without friction and air resistance, we equate potential (PE) and kinetic (KE)energies.
Energies at bottom of hill = energies at top of hill.
0+(1/2)m*vi²=mgh+(1/2)m*vf^sup2;
cancel m and substitute
g=9.8 m/s²
vi=20 m/s
h=15 m
(1/2)(20²)=9.8*15+(1/2)vf²
Solve for vf.
A roller-coaster car is moving at 20.0 m/s along a straight horizontal track. What is its speed after climbing a 15.0 m hill? Neglect the effects of friction.
