Suppose that while riding bike, a person coasts down both a small hill and a large hill. Compare his final speed at the bottom of the small hill with his final speed at the bottom of the large hill. Explain your answer

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

the person would have a greater final speed at the bottom of large hill than bottom of the small hill the amount of gravtatonal potential energy dependsionsthe height of the starting position. Starting from a greater height: means starting with more gravitational potential energy, which is converted into kinetic energy as the person coasts down the hill
