Energy & Conservation of Energy

1. Moving can be a difficult task, especially in the Georgia heat. What types of energy would you say are involved in moving into the dorms at Kennesaw State? How might energy transfer be involved in this move? How might you make moving in easier using simple machines? What might be ways to "stay cool" or transfer heat away from a person when they are moving in?

A cart with a mass of 100kg is at the top of a 10 meter hill. (Remember gravitational potential energy = m*g*h; g=9.8m/s^2) The gravitational potential energy of the cart at the top of the hill is joules. If there is no friction, when the cart rolls down the hill, the kinetic energy of the cart at the bottom of the hill is joules.
