Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To understand how a car reaches high speeds and how a person scales high cliffs, we can break down the concepts of kinetic energy and potential energy, as well as the sources of energy involved in each case.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understanding Kinetic Energy in a Car:**
- A car reaches high speeds by acquiring kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, which depends on the mass of the car and the square of its velocity.
- The formula for kinetic energy (KE) is given by:
\[
