What's the formula for potential energy?
E.p= m X g Xh
E.p= m X g Xh
Yep so
Mass of the car = m = 905 kg
g = 9.8 m/s² is what it seems you've taken.
When it started, it was at a height of 1080 m
yes
wouldn’t we subtract the height?
I am actually preferring you to do
mgh1 - mgh2
Where h1 and h2 are final and initial heights.
But yes, you can also do mg(h1 - h2).
,calc 905 * 9.8 * (4080-1860)
Result:
1.968918e+7
Eh
okay so…??
YES
18 km
yes, that is our height
,calc 1.48 * 10^7/(9.8 * 18000)
Result:
83.90022675737
This should be the mass.
In kg
Because all the units used are in SI.
I converted height into metres as well.
You forgot to change your 18km into metres.
