Answer:
8.45 m
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass (m) = 90 Kg
Initial velocity (u) = 13 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s
Height (h) =?
NOTE: Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
The height of the hill can be obtained as follow:
v² = u² – 2gh (since the cart is going against gravity)
0² = 13² – (2 × 10 × h)
0 = 169 – 20h
Rearrange
20h = 169
Divide both side by 20
h = 169/20
h = 8.45 m
Therefore, the height of the hill is 8.45 m
