Mechanical Energy Worksheet

The document contains 5 physics problems involving calculations of potential and kinetic energy: 1) Calculating the potential energy of a 2,500 kg car lifted 2 meters. 2) Comparing the potential energies of two 5,000 kg cars lifted 1 meter, where one car is twice as massive as the other. 3) Calculating the potential energy gained by a 1-N book when elevated to heights of 4 meters and 8 meters. 4) Calculating the speed of a 3,000 kg car with 450,000 J of kinetic energy. 5) Calculating the kinetic energy of a 2 kg snowball thrown at 5 m/s, and its mechanical energy when it stops with
