Answer:
E_g = m 392 J, Ek = m 392
Explanation:
Mechanical energy is a very important concept since if the system does not have friction it remains constant
the potential energy of a system is
E_g = U = m g (y2 - i)
E_g = m 9.8 (40 -0)
E_g = m 392 J
The kinetic energy for this system assuming it started from rest
E_k = K = ½ m v2
how mechanical energy is conserved
E_g = E_k
Ek = m 392
