Question: A 2 kg object is lifted vertically upwards to a height of 5 meters above the ground. What is the gain in potential energy of the object? (Use 9.8 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity.)

Answer: To calculate the potential energy (PE), use the formula PE = m * g * h.

PE = (2 kg) * (9.8 m/s²) * (5 m)
PE = 98 Joules

The gain in potential energy of the 2 kg object is 98 Joules.

Question: A 500 kg roller coaster starts from a height of 40 meters with an initial velocity of 3 m/s. It then goes down a slope and comes to a halt on a horizontal section of the track. If the frictional force between the roller coaster and track has a coefficient of 0.1, how long is the horizontal section of the track?

Answer: We first need to find the kinetic energy at the bottom of the slope by utilizing the conservation of mechanical energy.

Total initial energy (Ei) = kinetic energy (KE) + potential energy (PE)
At the top
KE_initial = 0.5 * m * v^2 = 0.5 * 500 kg * (3 m/s)^2 = 2,250 J
PE_initial = m * g * h = 500 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 40 m = 196,000 J

At the bottom
PE_final = 0 J (since it's at the lowest point)
So, E_final = E_initial
KE_final = KE_initial + PE_initial = 2,250 J + 196,000 J = 198,250 J

Now, using the work-energy theorem, we can calculate the work done by friction:

W_friction = KE_final - KE_initial = 198,250 J - 2,250 J = 196,000 J.

The work done by friction is also equal to frictional force multiplied by the distance (d):

W_friction = frictional force * d

frictional force = µ * N (normal force)
Since the roller coaster is on a horizontal surface at the end, N = m * g
frictional force = 0.1 * 500 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 490 N

Now, solve for the distance, d:

196,000 J = 490 N * d
d ≈ 400 meters

The horizontal section of the track is approximately 400 meters long.
