a) A bullet from a riffle can moves with a velocity of 380m/s. Mass of a bullet is 0.0028kg. Calculate the kinetic energy of the bullet. b) Two identical trolleys are carrying two identical loads with two different positions on a same ramp as shown in Figure 1a and Figure 1b. Assume that the trolleys slide down from the same height and there are no other forces acted on its.

FORMULA
EK = mass x velocity2 = mv2 Mass of object the greater the mass of an object, the greater the kinetic energy possesses by it Velocity of the object the faster an object moves, the bigger the kinetic energy possesses by it
EP =mass x gravity x height =m g h Mass of object More massive objects have greater gravitational potential energy. Height of the object to which it is raised the higher that an object is elevated, the greaterthe gravitational potential energy

i) Which trolley will travel further? ii) Explain your answer in c (i)
i) Trolley A ii) Explanation: Location of load on trolley A is higher than load on trolley B. As the load is higher, the trolley will gained more potential energy. When the trolley slides, the potential energy will transform to kinetic energy. As it has greater kinetic energy, the trolley A will travel further than trolley B.
