A girl and her bicycle have a total mass of 40.0 kg. At the top of the hill her speed is 5.0 m/s, and her speed doubles as she rides down the hill. The hill is 10.0 m high and 100 m long. How much kinetic energy and potential energy is lost to friction

The kinetic energy and potential energy lost to friction is 2,420 J.

Explanation:

Given;

total mass, m = 40 kg

initial velocity of the girl, Vi = 5 m/s

hight of the hill, h = 10 m

length of the hill, L = 100 m

initial kinetic energy of the girl at the top hill:

initial potential energy of the girl at the top hill:

Total energy at the top of the hill:

E = 500 J + 3920 J

E = 4,420 J

At the bottom of the hill:

final velocity = double of the initial velocity = 2 x 5 m/s = 10 m/s

hight of the hill = 0

final kinetic energy of the girl at the bottom of the hill:

final potential energy of the girl at the bottom of the hill:

Based on the principle of conservation of energy;  

the sum of the energy at the top hill = sum of the energy at the bottom hill

The energy at the bottom hill is less due to energy lost to friction.

Therefore, the kinetic energy and potential energy lost to friction is 2,420 J.
