Step 1

m = 3.0 kg, the object is released from rest so initial KE = 0, the zero of gravitational potential is at point C, and the height of A above C is h_A = 3.0 m (from the diagram). Use g = 9.8 m/s^2. Show more…

Thanks for your feedback!

If the object starts at point A what is the total energy of the system? 3.0-kilogram object is placed on frictionless track at point and released from rest (Assume the gravitational potential energy of the system to be zero at point C) 4.0 m m = 3.0 kg 3.0 m 2.0 m 1.0 m 0.0 m
