An 85.0 kg cart is rolling along a level road at 9.00 m/s. The cart encounters a hill and coasts up the hill. Assuming the movement is frictionless, at what vertical height will the cart come to rest?

not moving. pos accel,

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
