Respuesta :
The motorcycle can coast up the hill by ; 42.86m .and the the amount of energy lost to friction : 17902.45 J.
What is enegry?
Energy is ability to do the work. Scienct defines energy as the ability to do the work.
Determine how high the motorcycle can coast up the hill when friction is neglected
apply the formula for kinetic and potential energies
K.E = 1/2 mv² ---- ( 1 )
P.E = mgH ---- ( 2 )
As the motorcycle goes uphiLl the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.
∴ K.E = P.E
1/2 * mv² = mgH
∴ H = ( 1/2 * mv² ) / mg ---- ( 3 )
where ; m = 185 kg , v = 29 m/s , g = 9.81
Insert values into equation ( 3 )
H ( height travelled by motorcycle neglecting friction ) = 42.86m
B) Determine how much energy is lost to friction if the motorcycle attains 33m before coming to rest
P.E = mgh = 185 * 9.81 * 33 = 59890.05 J
where : h = 33 m , g = 9.81
K.E = 1/2 * mv² = 77792.5 J ( question A )
∴ Energy lost ( ΔE ) = ( 77792.5 - 59890.05 ) = 17902.45 J
Hence we can conclude that The motorcycle can coast up the hill by ; 42.86m , The amount of energy lost to friction : 17902.45 J.
