  10. Example 4 Braking distance (energy approach) (b)Brakes are applied to stop the car. If the braking force is 7500 N (equalto half the weight of the car), what is the braking distance? Data: KE of car = 0.3 MJ 7.2 Kinetic and potential energy

  12. 2 Gravitational potential energy (PE) PE is the energy an object possesses due to its position above the ground. mg h A box of mass m is lifted a height h above the ground. Force needed to lift box = weight = mg mg Work done=forcedistance lifted =mgh(PE gained by box) (unit: J) 7.2 Kinetic and potential energy

  13. N.B: • 1. As the height is measured from the ground up, we choose the ground to be the reference point and P.E of the load at the ground level is taken to be zero. • 2. However we could choose some other reference points. Then the potential energy of the load have a different value. But the change in potential energy remains the same with reference to the same reference point. • 3. For the displacement of the load to the level below the reference point, the P.E. of the load is negative. 7.2 Kinetic and potential energy

  14. 2 Gravitational potential energy (PE) Points to note in calculating PE: Only the height lifted against gravity matters, NOT the actual distance moved. less force, but longer distance g massm massm h both have the same PE at the top!! PE = mgh 7.2 Kinetic and potential energy
