Solve the following word problems using the kinetic and potential energy formulas. Be sure to SHOW YOUR WORK!!

KE = PE = ×× = ⁄

Example 1

A group measures the speed of a 0.1 kg car at 2.5 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the car?

KE = 12 × 0.1 ×(2.52) {When something is square it is multiplied by itself (2.5 x 2.5)

KE = 0.05 ×6.25

KE = 0.3125 Joules

Example 2

You are on rollerblades at the top of a 10 m hill. Your mass is 60 kg. What is your potential energy?

PE = 60 x 10 x 10

PE = 6000 J

1. Determine the kinetic energy of a 1000 kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 20.0 m/s.

2. Missy Diwater a platform diver, had a kinetic energy of 15,000 J prior to hitting the bucket of water. If Missy’s mass is 50 kg, then what is her speed?

3. A cart is loaded with brick and pulled to the top of a ramp. If the mass of the loaded cart is 3.0 kg and the height of the plane is 0.45 meters, what is the potential energy of the loaded cart?

4. A 75 kg refrigerator is located 300 meters above the ground. What is the potential energy of the refrigerator?

5. The potential energy of a 40 kg cannon ball is 14,000 J. How high was the cannon ball to have this much potential energy?

Antireflective coatings on solar cells are often made by applying a thin film of silicon nitride (sinx), which has an index of refractive of 1.2, on the top of the silicon solar cell, which has a refractive index of about 3.5. however, the sun emits radiation of various wavelengths which the solar cell absorbs, and the antireflective coating can only absolutely minimize the reflection of one of these wavelengths. the coating thickness is chosen to reduce the reflection of green/yellow light (e = 2.2 ev), which is the most intense color in the solar spectrum (shown below). which of the following coatings would minimize reflection of green/yellow light? the answer is 820 nm how? what is the angular width of the central maximum of an electron traveling at 2 x 108 m/s going through a single slit of width 1 mm.
