therefore has potential energy relative to the floor. If it were lifted 2 1. A 2,500 kg car is lifted a certain distance in a service station and
meters high, how much potential energy would it have? therefore has potential energy relative to the floor. If it were lifted 2
meters high, how much potential energy would it have?

2. Two cars with 5000 kg each are lifted to the same elevation 1 meter
high in a service station. If one car is twice as massive as the other, how 2. Two cars with 5000 kg each are lifted to the same elevation 1 meter
do their potential energies compare? high in a service station. If one car is twice as massive as the other,
how do their potential energies compare?

3. How many joules of potential energy does a 1-N book gain when it is
elevated 4 m? When it is elevated 8 m? 3. How many joules of potential energy does a 1-N book gain when it
is elevated 4 m? When it is elevated 8 m?

4. A moving car has 450,000 J kinetic energy. What is the speed if it has a
mass of 3000 kg? 4. A moving car has 450,000 J kinetic energy. What is the speed if it
has a mass of 3000 kg?
