A 1500 kg car traveling at 20 m/s suddenly runs out of gas while approaching the valley shown in the figure. The alert driver immediately puts the car in neutral so that it will roll.

What will be the car’s speed as it coasts into the gas station on the other side of the valley?

Answer:

v_f = 17.4 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use conservation of energy

starting point. On the hill when running out of gas

          Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g y₁

final point. Arriving at the gas station

         Em_f = K + U = ½ m v_f ² + m g y₂

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         ½ m v₀ ² + m g y₁ = ½ m v_f ² + m g y₂

        v_f ² = v₀² + 2g (y₁ -y₂)

         

we calculate

        v_f ² = 20² + 2 9.8  (10 -15)

        v_f = √302

         v_f = 17.4 m / s
