Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy — practice question

A car moving at a speed of $28\,\text{m s}^{-1}$ leaves a motorway via an exit road. The far end of the exit road is $22\,\text{m}$ above the motorway. If gravity is the only force taken into account, what speed will the car have at the end of the exit road?

  • A$7.3\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • B$19\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • C$21\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • D$24\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
