Explanation / Answer

(a). mass m = 0.18 kg

Height h = 23 m

Work due to gravity W = mgh = 40.572 J

(b). mass m = 0.17 kg

Height h = 4.7 m

Work W ‘ = mgh

                  = 7.8302 J

(c). Mass m = 1060 kg

Speed v = 94 km / h = 26.1111 m / s

Kinetic energy K = ( 1/ 2) mv ^ 2= 361348.76 J

(d). Kinetic energy K = 1.7* 10 ^ 4 J

Mass m = 59 kg
