Question
![### Problem Statement
A 1200 kg car is approaching the hill shown in **Figure 1** at 13 m/s when it suddenly runs out of gas. Neglect any friction.
### Discussion and Analysis
To solve this problem, we will apply the energy conservation law to determine the car's speed after coasting down the other side of the hill.
### Figure Description
**Figure 1** illustrates the scenario:
- A car is displayed approaching a hill.
- The hill has an initial incline of 12°.
- The car will travel up a distance of 15 meters along the slope.
- The peak of the hill has an angle of 5° leading down the other side.
- After the peak, the car will coast down a distance of 19 meters along the slope.
### Part B
**Question:**
What is the car's speed after coasting down the other side?
**Answer:**
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
\[
v = \_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{Value} \quad \_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{Units}
\]
[Submit Button]
**Feedback and Further Instruction:**
Here we learn to apply the energy conservation law to determine the final speed of the car.
