Use this scenario to answer the four following questions. a person is on a sled on top of a snow covered hill. the vertical distance from the top of the hill to the bottom is 12 meters. the sled and the person riding it have a combined mass of 60 kg. to start, person is pushed. the initial velocity is 1 m/s. at the bottom of the hill, the sled and the person have a velocity of 10 m/s. use g=9.8 m/s2 or g=10 m/s2 for the gravitational acceleration. what is the initial total mechanical energy of the person and their sled?

7086 J

Explanation:

Given

height of hill from ground(h)=12 m

combined mass of sled and man(m)=60 kg

initial velocity(u)=1 m/s

at bottom velocity(v)=10 m/s

Total mechanical energy of the person

E=Potential Energy+Kinetic Energy

E=7056+30=7086 J

dec 23, 2016 - a load of bricks weighing 680 n a distance of 10 m across a parking lot. if if the worker pushes the cart with a constant force of 209 n, what work= force x distance = 220 n x 10 m = 2200 n.m = 2200 j i don't know where the person got it from, but the initial part, work= force x distance me.
