A motorcyclist is trying to leap across the canyon by driving horizontally off a cliff at vo= 14 m/s. ho=29 m and h = 9 m. Ignoring air resistance, what is the speed, v, (in m/s), with which the cycle strikes the ground on the other side as shown? Take g = 9.80 m/s2. Please round your answer to one decimal place. ho VO Equation: Conservation of mechanical energy gives mv+mgh,= mv² +mgh, (The mass is on both sides and it cancels out)

An electric scooter has a battery capable of supplying 120 Wh of energy. If friction forces and other losses account for 60.0% of the energy usage, what altitude change can a rider achieve when driving in hilly ter-rain if the rider and scooter have a combined weight of 890 N?
In an iconic movie scene, Forrest Gump (https://openstaxcollege.org/l/21ForrGumpvid) runs around the country. If he is running at a constant speed of 3 m/s, would it take him more or less energy to run uphill or downhill and why?

(a) What is the average useful power output of a person who does 6.00106J of useful work in 8.00 h? (b) Working at this rate, how long will it take this person to lift 2000 kg of bricks 1.50 m to a platform? (Work done to lift his body can be omitted because it is not considered useful output here.)
