Answers PFY p121

a) W = m x g --> W = 50 x 10 = 500N CORRECT
b) GPE = W x h --> 500 x 4 = 2000J CORRECT
c) Total E at Start = Total E at End --> 2000J = KE + 0 --> 2000J CORRECT

Answers PFY p91

a) GPE = mgh --> 35 x 10 x 30 = 10500J CORRECT
b) GPE at top = KE at bottom --> KE = 1/2 mv^2 --> v = sqr(10500/(35/2)) = 24.5 m/s CORRECT
c) There is friction from the snow and the sledge, which converts the KE into heat energy; therefore not all of the GPE is transferred to KE as that energy is 'wasted' CORRECT
