Question:

a. What is the kinetic energy of a \(1500 \mathrm{~kg}\) car traveling at a speed of \(30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}(\approx 65 \mathrm{mph})\) ?

b. From what height should the car be dropped to have this same amount of kinetic energy just before impact?

c. Does your answer to part b depend on the car's mass?
