Question 856876: Please help my 15 year old son with this physics question if you can:
A Car starts driving up a hill which has a 30 degree slope. It's initial speed is 20m/s when the engine stalls. How far does the car roll up the hill before coming to a stop?
He has calculated 30.63 metres - can anyone tell us if this is correct please - much appreciated.
Thanks.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming no friction forces, the component of gravity does work equal to the kinetic energy of the car when it stalls.
