He cans have essentially the same size, shape, and mass. which can has more energy at the bottom of the ramp? ignore friction and air resistance. the cans have essentially the same size, shape, and mass. which can has more energy at the bottom of the ramp? ignore friction and air resistance. the milk the refried beans they both have the same energy.

Answer:

they both have the same energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they have the same mass, and they are located at the same position in teh ramp, that means that they both have teh same height, so when you are calculating the potential energy, it will be the same since the formula for potential energy is:

Ep= m*h*g

So we don´t need the data to know that if they are both located at the same height and with the same mass, their potential energy will be the same.

The answer would be they both have the same energy. The milk and the refried beans begin with the same amount of gravitational potential energy. Since mechanical energy is preserved in this experiment, both the refried beans and milk need to have the same amount of energy at the end of the ramp too, but it may be allocated contrarily between translational and rotational kinetic energy.
