Question: A 1500 kg car moving at20 m/s approaches a hill that is 24m high and 30 m long. Although the car and hill are clearly

A 1500 kg car moving at20 m/s approaches a hill that is 24m high and 30 m long. Although the car and hill are clearly too large to be treated as matter waves, determine what Eq. 38-21 predicts for the transmission coefficient of the car, as if it could tunnel through the hill as a matter wave. Treat the hill as a potential energy barrier where the potential energy is gravitational.
