15. Determine the kinetic energy of a 1000-kg roller coaster car that is moving with the speed of 20.0m/s.
16. If the roller coaster in the above problem were moving with twice the speed, then what would be its new kinetic energy?
17. Missy Siwater, the former platform diver for the Ringling Brother's Circus had a kinetic energy of 15,000 J just prior to hitting the bucket of water. If Missy's mass is 50 kg, then what is her speed?
18. A cart is loaded with a brick and pulled at a constant speed along an inclined plane to the hight of a sear-top. If the mass of the loaded cart is 3.0 kg and the height of the seat top is 0.45 meters, then what is the potential energy of the loaded cart at the height of the seat-top?
19. A 75-kg refrigerator is located on the 70th floor of a skyscraper (300 meters above the ground). What is the potential energy of the refrigerator?
20. The potential energy of a 40-kg cannon ball is 14000J. How high was the cannon ball to have this much potential energy?
