Conservation of Energy Whiteboard Problems 1. A 40.0 kg test rocket is fired vertically on a level surface. Its fuel gives it a kinetic energy of 3.00 x10³ J before it leaves the pad. What is the maximum height the rocket will reach? 2. A 20.0 kg object is dropped off of a 30.0 m cliff. How fast is the object going when it hits the ground? 3. A 150. kg roller coaster is released from rest at the top of a 50.0 m hill. How fast will it be going if the second hill is 10 m high? 4. A 0.300 kg toy has a spring attached to it so it can be shot straight up into the air. The spring is compressed 0.0500 m and has a spring constant of 300. N/m. A) Find the KE of the object when it is shot into the air. B) Find the maximum height of the toy (relative to the end of the barrel).
