Q 3. Three cars are traveling at 30km/h, 50km/h and 200km/h, respectively. Each speed corresponds to a certain kinetic energy. a) Note down the expression for the kinetic energy of a moving object with a velocity v. b) Note down the potential energy for an object lifted up from the ground to height h. c) Based on a) and b) find an expression for the height as a function of velocity by assuming that the kinetic energy equals the potential energy of the same object. In other words find h(v) from which the object would need to be dropped and calculate the height so it has a speed of 30 km/h, 50 km/h or 200 km/h on impact with the ground. Assume free fall without air resistance d) Comment on your chances of survival if you are involved in head-on collisions for the three different speeds.
