Energy, work and power — practice question

A car, starting from rest at position X, speeds up while moving up a hill. At position Y, its speed is $10\text{ m s}^{-1}$. The car’s kinetic energy at position Y is the same as the increase in its gravitational potential energy from X to Y. Take the gravitational field strength $g$ as $10\text{ N kg}^{-1}$. What is the rise in height of the car from X to Y?

  • A$0.50\text{ m}$
  • B$5.0\text{ m}$
  • C$10\text{ m}$
  • D$50\text{ m}$
