Kinetic Energy Exercise
Assume a rider having a mass of 70 kg is perched at the top of the hill shown.
Suppose that 25,000 J of work is done against friction as the rider travels from the top (at 50 m) to the second hump (at 35 m).
Question: Will the rider make it to the top of the second hump if no kinetic energy is given to the rider at the start of the motion?
- No
- Yes
- It depends on other factors
